Cover story: May the (rummage) force be with you
Rummage sales are not for the weak-willed. To truly understand the strength and skill required of rummage shoppers, we gave three people some cash, some basic training and some very specific orders.

On the cover: Michael Stewart, 22, is a musician/student. Stewart, a Luke Skywalker fan, said this photo shoot was "a dream come true." When he was 9, he found a hot pink skateboard with skulls on it for $5 at a rummage sale.
