Family claims $130 million in Coke stock sold at garage sale | The Sideshow. (AP/Coca-Cola Co.) In 2008, Tony Marohn visited a local estate sale where he paid a "nominal amount" for an antique oil stock certificate.

NEW YORK (AP) — Pepper-sprayed customers, smash-and-grab looters and bloody scenes in the shopping aisles. How did Black Friday devolve into this? As reports of shopping-related violence rolled in this week from Los Angeles to New York, experts say a volatile mix of desperate retailers and cutthroat marketing has hyped the traditional post-Thanksgiving sales to increasingly frenzied levels.
