    GI Joe FIND and Help.....

    Hey guys, yard sale/estate sale season is upon us and this morning I snagged this Joe Foot locker with dolls and accessories for $5. Anyway, any Joe headz know if any of these parts are noteworthy? Or are they all common? There is a rubber suit in here. Also, a yellow cloth pilot helmet. I think the astronaut suit is common.... Anybody?

    lot of 60's items like the marine dress blues is worth something Blue tunic , blue pants with red strip and softe rubber shoes White rifle and white cap and white belt and ammo pouches
    sort them out by Hasbro name and no name.
    luger and the Cap Bomb are not GIjoe and are from the early 70's
    camo uniform goes to the breaded Joe

      The wet suit, if pliable and in good shape good fetch some bucks. If you plan on listing this on Ebay, be very descriptive. How many pockets on shirts and pants, things of this nature, how clean, etc... It's all fairly common but worth a lot more than 5 bucks. I'm a bit jealous.

        Yes the rubber suit, if it's pliable and stain free. The yellow cloth helmet is the LSO's (Landing Signal Officer). It should have headphones with them.

        The paddle thingie with the brown handle is the LSO paddle.



        Just below it is a Major Matt Mason back pack... I would say that is probably the most notable of the items in the whole lot. Everything else is pretty common.

        You do have a lot of knock-off uniform and accessory items in there and so unless that Marine Dress uniform jacket has a GI Joe tag, I would say chances are it's a knock-off.

        The M-16, if unbroken, will get bids. As will the little medic bag and arm band.

        The figures should fetch you between $10 and $20 depending on condition.

          Thanks guys. Someone at the same sale walked away with two big boxes full of vintage toys--I shuddered to think what was in them--I was lucky to snag these Joes!

                      Looking at that pile, its all worthless. I'll give you SIX dollars to take that pile of junk off of your hands and you can tell folks you still made a profit!!

                      Seriously, I wish I could come across deals like that. Whenever I see lots like that, the sellers want a 1000 dollars because they think they have Fort Knox in a box!!
