2012 Urban Safari Hunting Hauls (Garage Sale, Thrift Stores, Craigs, Rummage...)

No way. That last pic is awesome. Are those some Ewok Duloks in there?!

Yup. Also Droid figures. A few might be 100% complete. Some Last 17 weapons/accessories too.

Also a TON of M.A.S.K. figures.

Also not shown is a complete Pirates of the Galxaseas Crossbones figure.

In retrospect, I should of left the stuff in the first pic. It's all modern girl stuff, for the most part. That I will most likely donate. Bring it to Savers or something.

This was a LOT of stuff for $20.

I went to the Hartville Flea Market this morning in Hartville, OH and picked up a few toys for my collection.

Kaptain Kool and the Kongs Magic Slate for $4.00. You don't see these every day.

Micronauts Microtron ($12.00) and Oberon ($18.00). They're not complete, but they should display well.

Hero Clix Thing, Hulk and Doc Samson (3 for $1.00)

I used to set up at that flea market for years. Comics were huge there until the variant bust of the early 90's. It was 4.00 to set up. It always rained on the big Holiday sales.

I've set up there a couple of times before. But, It's a big hassle on the holidays. You basically have to camp out overnight to get a spot. Fortunately there was no rain today and I was only looking, not dealing.

Went to St. Germaine Flea Market today (St. Germain, WI)

Picked these up for $2.00 each Most of the loose were taken off the cards and put in baggies. I have no clue why the guy who had these felt it was a good idea to cut them off the card. :sigh: Oh well, some really minty specimens here, so I can't complain


I love this find. Mr. T kids scooter, I paid a whole $4.00.


Model kit cost me $2.00 (still sealed) Boxes of cards were $7.50 per box. Packs are minty.


Bowling set for $1.00. I think these were from a bar game. Can't swear to it. Just uniqueish for $1.00. LOL


$1.50 for a Captain Power Lunchbox/Thermos.


I stoped at a rumage sale and found these. Nothing special. 250+ Starting Lineup Action figures. I paid $140.00. At .60 cents a peice I didn't think I was going in too deep. A mix of Football, Baseball, Basketball & Hockey.

Damn that Star Wars lot is nice. I'd take them out of the bubble. Got an A-Wing Pilot too.

Was excited to find these today at a flea market for $8:

[Enik24]

Graet score!Those are from mcdonalds,right?

[megoat]

Here's some pickups from yesterday and today. Most of this stuff lies outside of this boards toy interest but thought I'd show some pictures anyway. Yesterday me and buddy drove one and a half hours to hit a rural hoarders house and then today a contact of mine who finds stuff for me gave me a call...Big cap gun is a Mustang 500, fairly desirable gun. Lionel set looks complete circa late 50s/early 60s. Lot of this stuff is out of my wheelhouse but it was cheap enough so it's hard to pass up.....

Today SUCKED.

I've posted a lot of complaints about sales in the past, but today was THE WORST.

I saw a garage sale on CL mentioning comic books along with some pictures. Had an Amazing Spider-Man #300, 12 cent Dare Devil, etc.

I got to the sale 2 HOURS before it started and left and came back on and off until I saw the guy setting up like 45 minutes. My dad I mentioned the comics and asked for first shot. Guy said sure, if we stick around. So we waited in the car outside the house. As soon as he brought the comics out, I noticed the heavy set girl and her kids across the street get out and start heading towards the drive way. So we got out right away. At first she was looking at kids clothes for a few seconds, so I thought "ah, OK...comics are mine". AS SOON as I started walking to them, she made a bee line and had her kids on each side holding hands. We couldn't get around her. She actually USED her kids as a blockade.

I started flipping through this. This animal offed the guy $100, he said "let me count", she said how about $200.

Done.

I just left. ****ed at myself more, maybe. I should of spoke up. I didn't wait 2 hours to have some scumbag tactic used on me like that and that guy DID say I'd get first shot.

PEOPLE SUCK. THEY SUCK.

[megoat]

Whoa, dude. I ain't yr shrink or anything but you prolly need to take a step back. If this biz is working you that bad you oughta maybe take a deep breath.

[Den82]

No, you are right. I think I need to stop with Estate and garage sales and just stick with my wanted ads.

When stuff like this happens, it sucks the fun and enjoyment right out of it and I am not waking up crack of dawn every weekend to get ****ed off and deal with the nonsense.

I try to be respectful and end up losing. He told me the sale started at 11:00AM, so from 10:45 I sat in the car, not at the end of his drive way or anything. Guy seemed like the type who didn't like early birds, so I tried to be as cool as I could.
