To celebrate National Garage Sale Day (8/12), this mother and son in England bought two teddy bears at a yard sale for approximately $150. That might seem like a lot, but one of the bears turned out to be a highly-collectible one from 1905 that had a minimum listing price at auction of over $5,000! The mother just had a gut feeling that the bear would be valuable, and it certainly was!
This shows the incredible things you can come across at a yard sale, and how following your gut can pay off!
