The Olbigatory Yard Sale Find Thread

Same here! If there was a collectible market for used baby clothes, I could corner it in one morning!

That is pretty much all I find around here, too.

Great deal on that AT-AT

A Dune coloring book that I've seen sell for $40 cost me .25

They get that kind of money? I picked up a few Dune coloring and activity books for cheap during the summer. Hmmm.

Bahhh! I guess not always.
VINTAGE 1984 DUNE COLORING BOOK~UNUSED | eBay
There's a fair amount of things like that on ebay, they can sell really well one week, and sell for peanuts the next.

[cjefferys]

Well, it's still more than I paid for it. I picked up three different Dune books (including the one in that auction) and a Black Hole comic adaptation trade paperback for practically nothing. Maybe I should throw them up for sale, I might luck out.

Hit a few yard/garage sales early Sat morning. Didn't find anything amazing but brought home a few things. Not sure if anything is worth much but still neat things and the hunt was fun.

Old 1952/1956 baseball cards $1 for the set of 6


Found another lot of these Construx sets 1982 /1985 $1 a box


Vintage set of Pioneer headphones w/ box. Works great! $1


RCA Mark 8 series. 8Track players. I know nothing about this but it is old, very clean and is complete. Never seen one like this before with the built in speakers and all. $8 Any info would be helpful.



Finally some 1970 McDs items. Plates and a tray .50 for the lot

Cool stuff, Tim!

While not exactly a yardsale find...I did have my man make this for me here in Mexico. I will be hanging it over my D&D book collection.

This weekends finds! Not a lot and nothing spectacular but the hunt was still fun! Looks like it'll be a Tarzan weekend.

Old metal Tonka Jeep (no date) and 1979 Tonka Truck with figure (the truck is huge! Figure stands 8") $5 for both



Tarzan VHS Double video movie tapes .75 per set


Coke standee 4 ft tall $3

[megoat]

Cool Tim!

Didn't find much in the way of toys this week.....

My finds are technically not yard sale finds, but junk shop finds found for cheap:

3 carded MOTU figures (with cut bubbles):



and a vintage Yoda hand pupppet:

[Marvelmania]

Great finds Matt!!! I don't know a thing about the MOTU line but I need to. That Yoda looks so cool!

[HardyGirl]

I have 2 of those Tonka men, and a blue jeep. Nice finds.

No yard sales this weekend, but I stopped at the Salvation Army thrift store on Friday night and found a whole buncha vintage Ghostbusters toys: an Ecto-1 (missing the driver's door if anybody has any parts), a Ghost trap, the Happy Haunter VW vehicle, the gun that shoots foam pellets, the ghost projector, and a PKE meter. total cost: 12.00!

Found these 3 at my local thrift store:




They look like they are original promo posters for these movies/events. The Bogey one looks to be a made for TV movie that aired in 1980. The "Roots The Next Generation" is just a beautiful poster. Don't know the artist by the signature. The Hitchcock is also very nice. A year after the broadcast he passed away. Googled them and didn't see a thing about them on the web. All the promo stuff for Roots are black and white photos from the mini-series.
