inFound out my great uncle's old butcher block is worth more than my truck, and I almost sold it for $75
How did you actually find out the real value? Like did an appraiser tell you or did you just start digging around online and see what similar ones sold for? I'm asking because my grandma has one of those old wooden blocks from her dad's shop and I have no clue if it's a $50 flea market thing or something people actually fight over at auction. Any chance you know what makes one worth real money, like the brand or how old it is?

inUpdate: spent 2 months blaming my grinder for sour shots, and it was my $12 scale the whole time
Did you ever try weighing the same thing twice in a row to see if it gave you the same number? My cheap one did that thing where it would read fine, then I'd tare it, then somehow it added like 2 or 3 grams out of nowhere. I spent weeks messing with my grind setting when really my dose was all over the place, and once I started weighing every single time on a scale that didn't lie, the shots got way less sour. It's such a sneaky problem because you trust the number without even thinking about it.

inJust realized the guy who bought my $40 desk in Everett was casing my building
Meet people at the front door or lobby from now on, even if it feels rude, because someone who skips the item and asks about locks is not there to buy. Trust that gut feeling when a stranger gets weird about your place, and cancel the whole thing if you have to. Also tell your neighbors when it happens so everyone on the floor knows to watch out.
