Here’s this week’s Secondhand Sunday deal!
Jean found this beautiful clock at a garage sale in Tacoma, Washington last summer. She paid just $7. She had it appraised and found out that it’s worth more than $300! That’s a savings of 98% and quite a profit if she ever decides to sell it!
Jean writes this in her email to me, “My hubby was less than thrilled that I insisted on bringing it home [she lives in Arizona] and I didn’t want to ship it or check it…it was my “carry on” for the flight home. He has become a bit more enthusiastic since I had it appraised and found out it’s worth a little over $300!”
Great find Jean! I love old clocks, just think about all the people who looked at that for the time on a daily basis. . . years before it became yours!
Secondhand Sunday is a series I’m doing through the summer to feature deals that readers are finding secondhand – either at a thrift shop, garage sale or on Craigslist. It’s to encourage us all to consider secondhand purchases when we try to save money. Jean will get a $10 Amazon gift card for sending in her secondhand treasure!
Since we started this series, here are some of the secondhand treasures we’ve featured:
- Kendra’s Gucci purse for just $30
- Aimee saved 90% on a brand new pilates machine
- Kara saves 88% off this Step 2 Lifestyle Kitchen
- Katy finds Little Tikes Playhouse for $30, reg. $200

- Please email me a photo at thehive@queenbeetoday.com – include in the email a short description of what you found secondhand, what you paid for it and what you think it retails for. Use subject line Secondhand Treasure when you send the email.
- Try to take a photo that is not blurry and is in good light (try natural light, no flash, if possible). The better your photo the more likely it will be to make it on the site. People want to see what you got!
