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

[Nostalgiabuff]

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

[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]

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

[Marvelmania]

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

[Red Hulk]

Wow that's an impressive haul.

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!

[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

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.

1950s Howard Miller World Clock $10 works and lights up great but the inner trim inside around the map is missing. Love this thing!

I love the clock! It would only take a small nudge and I could start collecting clocks.

Great stuff Berto. I don't know much about the old VHS tapes. I had a chance today to pick up Superman The Movie 1, 2 & 3 in the original Warner Bros clams for $5 each but didn't know if it was worth it of not. I know some of the very rare movies can bring some money but still just don't know much about it.
Here are a few pick ups from last week and this morning.
1974 Wham-o Trac-Ball game $1 came with 4 balls originally but this one was missing 2 of them.


1981 Arnold Schwarzenegger Calendar $3


1973 Johnny Bench Poster .50 cents I was and still am a huge JB fan, growing up he was one of my idols. This thing is priceless to me.



Commodore VIC 20 computer the older brother to the Commodore 64 $5 no box but still in the original Styrofoam. Haven't tested it yet.



1982-84 Technics M258R cassette player/recorder $1 works perfectly. Originally was around $400 but now I'm not sure.



1950s Howard Miller World Clock $10 works and lights up great but the inner trim inside around the map is missing. Love this thing!

Been having a lot of luck with vinyl/records in the last 2 months...but today it was VHS day for me:













I've never seen a Star Wars 1st print in person, only on Ebay, and had to pinch myself when I saw it on the shelf. Not a Sailor Moon fan...but I figured it was worth the pick up just to flip on ebay. Galaxy Express 999 is probably going to stay in my personal collection. The last one I have no idea what it is...so anyone that may know it would be gladly appreciated to get some info on that one. Back of the tape just looked really cool. Now I have to test them on my machine. One last tap I found that will also be an ebay tape is Sleepaway Camp 2. Also found a few CD's that were made in Japan. Good day overall.

Got a lot of stuff at the auction last week, but this was the best:



Not complete and more broken parts than I would have liked, but I won it for only $100. The Flagg went for $100 while a Mego Spider-Man and Hulk with broken leg lot went for $124 and the rest of the Megos were hitting close to $200. Was in the twilight zone?
