My great-grandma's cast iron skillet sat in a cabinet for 20 years because I thought it was junk
Finally tried restoring that crusty old pan last week with $8 worth of vinegar and steel wool, and now I cook eggs in it every morning without sticking, so who else has been sleeping on a family heirloom because you assumed it was worthless?
Didn't @harris.vera say something similar about that curb find that ended up being a vintage record player worth real money? I remember reading a thread where she talked about how people toss stuff without checking value first. Not everything old is trash, you just gotta know what to look for.
