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

[Splitty]

I found this awesome, sealed in the box, 1978 Ball Clock for $8

I totally had that too as a kid!!
It was fascinating. I can still clearly remember the ball rolling and dropping sounds....

What happened to this thread? I just had revive it because I am going to the swapmeet tommorrow,so I hope I score a sweet find!

oop. Hauls have definitely been getting less now that the summer's gone. Year's almost over too! If we survive the predicted apocalypse, we'll have to start a new one for 2013. Feels weird typing that year out.

Here's my sept and oct hauls!! Lotsa halloween goodies. ^-^
The last one has a large mix of ebay, because loot is thinner.

This year was fun.

I think it is about time to start a new one. This one is too big.

Awe Dude, we so had that clock growing up. I thought it was so cool. I would get it again in a heartbeat.

I was out of town on business, but hit one of my favorite vintage toy stores in Wisconsin.

O-M-G! I had that van as a kid, and totally forgot about it until just now!
It looks JUST like my old long gone one, only with more stickers and less broken things.

While hunting Halloween decorations at the Goodwill, I found a set of Ping Eye 2 left handed golf clubs for $10

I am guessing this was Brick's ride before he got the Vantooth!






Speaking of vans....look who else showed up! Honestly, I did not even know this van existed!

Came across this yesterday in a local shop...1967 Mattel Buffy and Mrs. Beasley from 'Family Affair"...I remember watching this as a kid, but have never had or really ever that interested in buying anything on the show, but I couldn't pass it up...I always see the large Mrs. Beasley doll all the time, but I had never seen this one before...kinda neat.

Awesome pickups!

Yeah, it's OK but unfortunately the helmet has a crack. Anyway, still good for a buck!

That Snoopy is worth some cash. I had one once.

Anywhere from $60 - $100 loose depending on condition. That one looks pretty good and complete.

That Snoopy is worth some cash. I had one once.

Hit a couple sale today. Nothing more than $2.

I love this BSG Cylon chair! Unfortunately it does not hold air too well:



I'll take Snoopy Astronaut all day for $1!

A-Team party hats!
