I don't do many garage sales, but most local hamfests, you get a feel for what works and what doesn't at any rate, I usually pay with the thought in mind that it may not work, storage, transportation (theirs or mine!) and other factors make this kind of transaction less than perfect, but for the most part I have done well, with just a few clunkers. If your not buying from an established store, there are always chances you take, the pricing, as well as knowing your equipment and, when possible, the dealer, reflect this. I know several people I won't buy from at the hamfest, reputation of mostly shoddy merch, but this past weekend, scored very well (could have been quite the opposite, thought...)
