A lady went to a Garage Sale in New Jersey and found an intriguing item. It was a Presidential Campaign Button from the 1950's. She picked it up and looked at it and put it back down. She went to her car and was about to pull away when she deceided to go back and ask for the cost of the Button. The lady running the Garage sale came over to her and asked if she needed assistance. Yes, she replied, how much do you want for this Button? The lady said how about $5.00? She purchased it and the button was then listed on an eBay auction with a start price of $9.99 and no reserve.
