Man, those garage sale people who actually know their stuff are the best kind. Had a similar thing at an estate sale where the old guy running it told me to check the bottom of a shoe box full of random pins. Pulled out a WW2 era military pin that turned out to be silver. Not worth a ton but way more than the fifty cents I paid for the whole box. Stuff like that is why I can't walk past a junk jewelry pile without stopping. My wife hates it because I come home with bags of cheap chains and broken earrings every weekend. One time I found a real pearl earring mixed in with a pile of plastic ones, just sitting there by itself. Still keep it in a little jar on my dresser as a reminder to always look.

Ha, that sounds like my buddy who talked me into buying the fishing rod that catches more fisherman than fish. I made the same mistake with Catan years ago and learned real quick that more players just means more sitting around watching other people roll dice. The math is simple, six people means your turn comes up way less often, so a game that used to take an hour and a half now eats your whole night. My group runs four max and we are way happier for it. Dave probably gets a kickback or just really loves moving little wooden roads around for three hours. Sell that box to the next guy who thinks more is better.
