$200M Ansel Adams photos found at garage sale
 

This has to be one of the best finds ever......we always hear about finds like these at garage sales, but this really has to be the best.
And I am sure the guy who paid 45 bucks for the negatives is real happy too :thumbsup

A few years ago, a man bought a few photo negatives at a garage sale for $45. It turns out they may be the lost work of the great Ansel Adams, and they could be worth a fortune.

The pictures that were found by Rick Norsigian of Fresno were snapped about 80 years ago. They came from 65 glass negatives found in a box at a garage sale in Fresno.

I may start hunting down garage sales, never know what you may find that is valuable :winkwink:

If you buy something at a garage sale do you have full rights to it?

stranger things have happened.

I found a box of old flashbulb things once at a garage sale and bought it for $2. Thought it was junk. Turned out it was the exact "Graflex 3-Cell Flash Gun" type that is used in Star Wars as the light saber. Sold each of them for about $300 each for about $4500 profit. $2 -> $4500.

nice find

I took a snapshot of Fatfoo and sold it for a million bucks. Theory being he's much like the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot.

Holy sh!t, what a find. Talk about sellers remorse!

None of it has been verified yet though.

Heard about it on Stern. That would be a killer find

LOL wasnt fatfoo in the Blade movie, that big fat vampire Pearl that Wesley Snipes interrogated.
