    Ever find Mego MOC in the wild and leave it?

    I've passed on some Mego in the wild before (nude sunny bono, teddy bear with mego tag, overpriced loose dukes, fonzie etc), but had never seen a carded example of anything until recently. at $9 a MOC Julie from love boat was tempting, but I left it for somebody who would like it more. have you ever walked away from MOC Mego before?

    Yeah, I've seen a couple of boxed and carded Megos in the wild before, but mostly easy to find ones that are way overpriced, so walking away is easy

      No heroes, but the occasional beat/overpriced S&H or Duke boy at a flea market or yard sale.

        I pretty much know where every CHiPs, Dukes and Fonzie doll is in Southern Ontario.

          Yeah. We get some boxed Cher and Buck Rogers in LALALand and they just gather dust.

                This seems to be the trend.

                  I saw a lady at a flea market last year that had 7 or 8 Chers plus a ton of clothes for her.Priced pretty good but not my thing.

                    Yep, and this is true! Maybe 3 years ago, I found a carded Talosian for $95.00. Card was really bad. Torn and bubble cracks. It wasn't pretty, but sealed. I walked away and came back later and it was gone.

                      I have, in an antique barn. I never thought I would, but it was crappy and way overpriced and I already had it anyway.

                        I saw Dr. McCoy on a fair card 3 months ago. Seller told me right off the bat that he was $75 but she would take $65 for him. Was not sure if that was a good price but it did not matter because I didn't have enough cash on me anyway.

                          Was that at Lakewood 400?

                            I have passed on some at shows and flea markets.....but as already stated, because they were over priced.
                            I also passed a nice boxed POTA catapult at a flea las tsummer. guy wanted $35.00 which I thought was good and he also had a boxed horse for 60.00 which I thought was really good, I just did not have the cash on me.

                              Pride of Dixie over off I-85 and Jimmy Carter. (Next weekend). She may also exhibit at Lakewood 400. Have not been there in 2 years when I found Zombies Jon and Ponch for $5.00 each.
