Aye man is from Montreal, History student. But is it pure luck? You have to work; would I have seen a Velvet Underground album I wouldn't have picked it, for I don't care for the band.
I respect people being 'lucky' in that way, often you realize they spend some time doing research, etc.
Talking of... I'm trying to sell that on eBay: anyone interested?
The velvet underground rule, sounds like one lucky son-of-a...
I recently got given a mint-condition 'viking' bike frame (first edition - from the same batch of frames that got 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the first ever tour-of-britain, 1950s, only 200 ever made - although I didn't know that at the time) free, from someone's loft.
Immediately stripped all the parts off it and built it up as a fixed-gear as my daily beater bike for working as a courier. It was only at the point where I came out of making a delivery to find an ageing bike-geek perusing over it, in awe, that I discovered that it was worth a fair bit of money, and in good condition is one of the most sought-after pieces for vintage bike collectors.
...by this point I had snapped the original forks; ovalised the headtube; Twisted the chainstay away from the seat-tube lug; snapped and re-welded the driveside dropout; and worn off all the paint, right down to the lead-dipping.
Needless to say, it doesn't have the same collectable status, as when it arrived to me... And I am still riding one of the best goddamn frames, I have ever owned.
Wow...i feel bad for the guy who sold that for 75 cents :P
My mom and her sister, wehn they were kids, played with barbies. You know how insane people can get! Well, my mom found this "Complete mint condition Barbie Outfit" in her closet. We wondered what it was called
Shimmering Magic. We never would have guessed somone would pay that much for a piece of shiny cloth...
This is paying for my skating for a good 7 months :) I am happy.
Pardon my rudeness, I cannot abide useless people.
