Found these SW figures today, heading straight to the Marketplace



Found this 2006 issue Dinky Toy Mercedes Benz 300 SL



And for $20, I got an entire Wii system, with extra controllers and 9 games!!!

[Hotfoot]

Didn't find a thing today!

Local flea market, I made the guys day and vice versa... The Munster doll talks perfectly, the Man of Action is case fresh... Hopefully more to come!!

I got all this awesome crap for $15!!! I have no idea if I overpaid.

Hardly. The Boglin is worth at least double that. They usually run between $25 and $35 loose. Very nice score.

[Werewolf]

Boglins are kewl.

And for $20, I got an entire Wii system, with extra controllers and 9 games!!!

Nice score. Wii's are notorious for getting the readers dirty if they sit for a while in a dusty area. I'm guessing if they sold it at that price it doesn't read and they were thinking they were taking you for buying an unworking system. (If not nice deal, love my Wii). If it doesn't they're fairly easy to clean. The hardest thing is they require a tri-wing screwdriver to open. Just open it and gently wipe the eye and they will usually come right back. I've fixed a couple of them. The controllers are a deal at $20 either way.

I scored an original complete NES and a Sega Dreamcast today. Both came with about 15 games each. $10 each. Also got a stack of about 12 original Gameboy games for about 50 cents each with a few Mario and Yoshi titles. No Pokemon games though.

Picked up all this stuff...no clue what its worth. I think its from the early 90's...90-92? most of its BNIB still shrinkwrapped. For sale/trade if anyones interested.

All HO Train scale carnival stuff.

[Splitty]

Wow! People are coming up with some good scores, and the season hasn't even heated up yet! This is good.

Boglins are kewl.

I hear dat!

I went back the next day, to scavange any uncovered leftovers (but mostly to take my mom who loves that kind o' sale).

I got into the books this time.
I paid $10 for all this, but the little carded Voltron sword is worth more than that alone, so basically all this was free!


I hadn't realized how freaking cool the Heavy Metal magazines were until I got my grubby mits on them. They're sweet. Also that Robots pop-up book is worth like $30, and I was just looking for one cheaper. Weird timing. That guide book to Transylvania is hilarious, and has superb creepy paintings in it and funny text, and a Frazetta book AND Boris cards. A hilarious how-to disco book that even has foot step diagrams. Dragonne! a weird seahorse motorcycle, another supernaturals and 2nd voltron & street tattos. I'll sell some of the kiddie junk to make it even more free.

This is half goodwill and half yard sale from today. Some stuff I wouldn't have otherwise bought...but was part of a grab bag so I had no choice. just didn't want ya thinking I thought the McDonald's penguin toy was a hot item or anything! Or is it? J/k.

I hit PAYDIRT today!!!!

I went to an estate sale that started today instead of Friday.

For $5, I bought a huge box of vintage barbies with tons of vintage clothes and accessories. For another $5, I bought 61 pulpbooks called "Science Fiction Analogy", for $2, I bought two very old wood shaft putters, for $10, I bought three HIGH DOLLAR, like-new tennis rackets (Head & Prince), and for $16 total, I bought Pete Maravich's Junior and Senior yearbooks from LSU!!!

I am expecting betwen $500-$700 on my return!!!

[ashmo21]

Picked this up for a dollar at the thrift store. How did I do lol. new at this

[4NDR01D]

Picked up a loose Thundercats Jaga figure.
+
A lot of loose Inspector Gadget figures. I would've passed on these as they were $10, but I had just sold a loose Penny a month back for $10 so I'm going to test my luck. Hoping for $60.

Another cute Rubens planter. Made $150 on last two so we'll see. I know 99% of MM could give a crap about these, but you make money where ever, however you can these days.

Although I don't listen to 60's Xian Folk Psych, some people do. I've done good business selling these LP's to many Europeans. usually between $50-$200.

Also picked up a '71 boxed Fisher-Price Merry-go-Round and about a dozen assorted Sylvainian Family animals today. But forgot to take pics.

[4NDR01D]

Oh, also picked up some New Order and Echo and the Bunnymen records too, need to check my collection to see if they're doubles though.
