2013 Urban Safari Hunting Hauls (Garage Sale, Thrift Stores, Craigs, Rummage...)

[HardyGirl]

I use a flannel board all the time in my pre-school. My kids love it!

I enjoyed the nice weather today and met a friend in town. We had lunch and stopped at our favorite thrift store. I got a Rubic's Race game, A Hershey Chockers game, a late 1950s Drueke Clapper (Shut the Box) game, a Mirrorkal puzzle, an illusion book, flannel graph characters (the kids in my sunday school class are amazed by this low-tech story-telling method), a marble house, and a shelf that I intend to turn into an On-The-Edge game for penny carnivals. All in all, not a bad way to spend $7.50.

100_4163.jpg100_4168.jpg100_4171.jpg100_4169.jpg100_4172.jpgGot more vintage Gi Joe, broke the rules and used house money now I gotta flip fast...

wish i knew what was rare and what is common, bought all this sight unseen , hoping there was mego at bottom, found some smdm and one aj part too

[Nostalgiabuff]

some nice stuff there Mike. you should be able to flip most of it pretty quick. the talkers usually go quick if they are working. I see at least one of the AT comics in there, they are usually good for some money. You have what looks like a complete SuperJoe commander( in pieces) and the reptilian guy is Gor, his nemesis. nice haul. I did not see anything rare in a quick scan but the stuff all looks to be in pretty good condition

[mikeMc6]

thanks nostalgiabuff, my wife is miffed i used house money to buy these so i just quickly posted details and numerous pics on portland craigslist, i was hoping to sell as a lot...
i bought the boxes of stuff without opening boxes cuz i saw that joe commander guy at bottom of one of the boxes and thought "mego, mego, mego, mego!"
I have it at $480 obo but it sounds like i have it priced on the higher end, i dunno....
winter is a tough time, you buy stuff for more than you usually would out of desperation, ha!

[Red Hulk]

Wow that's an impressive haul.

[drquest]

That's a lot of Adventure Team stuff for sure!

Nothing is jumping out to me that's super rare, but most looks nice and the boxed pieces should help you move it.

[Marvelmania]

2-3 months from now that price would probably be jumped on pretty quick. Super great haul !!!!!!

[Nostalgiabuff]

Mike you would really be better off selling it as the individual pieces. more work but it would bring in more money

[Red Hulk]

Yeah the pieces parted out would certainly bring some money.I wonder what set the blue and orange scuba suit goes to I've never seen that before.

[Nostalgiabuff]

that actually looks more modern. maybe the rerelease of action man?

[mvanis]

You should be able to cover $500 more than easily by splitting it up- not even into small bundles- accessory lots are good, the boxes look fair- complete up the talkers with some of your parts and they are an easy $50-75 each

[mikeMc6]

Keeping this Splitty thread alive till spring sales kick in...
rented a table at my very weak local monthly indoor flea market...unloaded crap, anywho I did grab these and got to hang with a more spry Lonnie100_4274.jpg

I had no idea Thundercats stuff was collectible although the selling price of these pieces I can't pinpoint*, grabbed these from under the nose of some serious toy bandits, hee hee! It's like swarming vultures out here...
An in town buddy wants these, but if he passes I will post them at a fair price on the boards

And now our biannual Portland Toy Show is kaput. I may have to organize one just to fricking go to one. Ugh.
*selling this stuff gives me mego spending money, so pm me if interested

Hi Everyone,

I got this stuff in 2 separate hauls from word of mouth. The Starsky and Hutch car is just too sweet. Had one as a kid, never thought I'd get an opportunity to own another one. Everything except the Adventure People stuff came from the original owner. I also got (not pictured) a Mighty Men & Monster Maker with beat up box, just missing one face plate. A Weebles Tree House, car and camper. Also a Little People Circus Train set. Not a bad couple of days! Everything except the Starsky and Hutch car will be making it's way over to the Marketplace.

Frank
