Default Best Deal Ever... But it wasn't me):

My hitting partner recently went to a local Antique Mall and found a Wilson Pro Staff 85 in 4 3/8 grip. He paid $3 for it, which is an absolute steal. It even came with the original case. The best part was when he got home and opened the case, he found a $5 bill in the case. He's always finding great deals but this was unbelievable.

That reminds me of a similar sitch'....I collect vinyl records and am a dollar bin junkie. Several years ago I bought some $1 album...I think it was a Tom Petty record....pulled the album out of the sleeve at home and there were three twenties and two fives tucked in there.

Score!

I found a Wilson Profile racket cover once at a thrift store for 2.50 euro.
When I came home and checked all zippers I found an old tennis club member card and 20.00 euro in change!!!
The card was from 1993 and from a town 150 miles away.
The money was atleast post 2002 when we actually changed to euro's.
