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

[Splitty]

This thread looks bored. )~(

Here's the few things I've found the past two weekends.

Craigs List score of all 4 Starcraft II figures. I shall sell off the boring human and robot, so henceforth the awesome alien and weird chick (two of my serious most wanted!) shall be frrrreeeeeeeeeee!!!

$1 DVDs, horror spooky pop-up book, .50 skull ice cream dish, $3 Indiana Jones playset, $2 Stay Puft...

...and I spent $12 on vintage Christmas stuff. DON'T JUDGE ME!!

Ummm...maybe, but not in the living room.

Don't forget a hanging bead curtain

Oooh! A sunburst clock! I love those. One day, I'm gonna have me a retro house, w/ wood paneling, shag carpets, overstuffed furniture, and a sunburst clock!

It's not really a thrift store find, but close enough. I have a friend who owns a shop, mostly vintage clothing, but also a few scattered furniture pieces and such. She let me set out the last of my vintage clothing collection, and over the last few months, most of it sold. Instead of a check for the entire amount, I took this as part of my payment. I have always wanted one. Ed HATES it, but he has never had a sense of style.

Yeah, once you find something you really like it's so hard to not want to acquire more similar items. Since I picked up my starburst clock last week I've thought about trying to grab a kit kat or shmoo clock sometime.

That is really cool!!!! Who made that one? I picked up one a little bit similar made by Lux from the 1950s this past weekend. I like yours much better.

This one is by Westclox. The winding spring is shot, but I think instead of paying $75 to fix it, I am going to gut it and drop in a kit clock. The original mechanism can be easily plucked out and I will, of course, save it in case I want to repair it down the road. Last night already, I re-arranged the games on the library wall and made room for the clock there. Just like it goes whenever I acquire something fabulous, I think about acquiring more of them. Just keep telling myself no clock collection, no clock collection, no clock collection.

To my total shock I found these today at a flea market, It is the biggest Mego find I have had in my two years of collecting them the best part is I got it all for 50 bucks.
