I'm going crazy, seriously. This past weekend I went to a yard sale advertised on craigslist that mentioned "vintage toys". I went. Leave no stone under turned, right?
First thing I bought were 2 Shogun Warriors for $5 each. A busted up Mazinga and an OK Dragun. OK place holders I figured.
The lady was pulling out tons of stuff. She sold me an incomplete Terror Drome for $15 (not a bad deal, I must say). But....she has a butt load of 80s GI Joe vehicles and parts, including ones for the Defiant and Flagg. The problem is, she doesn't want to sell them. They sitting in her backyard under a BLUE TARP getting rained on. She said she wanted to piece it together and try to sell it on eBay or CL.
I left...but I had to go back. I made her a cash offer of $200. No dice. Exchanged numbers, the whole nine. I went back the next day. Offered $300, no dice. Called them them day after. Told me she is indifferent about selling it and that $500 would be the bottom number.
Anyway, the 3 times we went, me and my dad were looking at her husbands Silver Age comics. He only wanted $5 each and like $15 for "Tales of Suspense" #45. We didn't buy any...
Anyway, after checking out issues online. I am 98% sure he has Avengers #4. When I last called he mentioned he looked some up on eBay and told me some are going for $50, $60 and that my dad could of doubled his money on some.
Now I am thinking of calling them tomorrow, offering $450 for the Joe stuff and telling them I'll buy like $50 worth of comics.
But I am afraid I will be haunting them too much. What should I do? This lady is the hardest nut I've ever had to crack.
