Not quite a garage sale, but at work I once saw an enlarger standing on
a shelf. It turned out to be someone's heirloom. Since he wasn't into
photography he was desperatly trying to get rid of it. He wanted Hfl
100,- for it (about $50). Upon closer examination I discovered the
enlarger was a Leitz Valoy II including 4.5/5 cm Focotar lens. With it
was also a Leitz instruction booklet and an enlarging easel. In the
Netherlands this enlarger sells for approx. 5 to 6 times the amount I
payed for it, as I later found out. 

I still hope to stumble upon a Leica M body or lens sometime...
