Garage sale guy swore this 1970s book was a collector's item

Found a beat-up paperback called "Secrets of the Soil" at a garage sale for $1. The old timer running it said it was rare and worth at least $50. I bought it thinking I struck gold. Got home, checked online, turns out there's hundreds of copies out there. Still a neat read about weird farming techniques though. Anybody else get tricked by a seller's hype?

$50 seems fair if it taught you something about agri-culture that actually works.

See that's the thing @dakota_fox, $50 is nothing if it means you actually grow better food. Most people waste way more on junk that doesn't work.
