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

[Den82]

Might be able to use some of those JEM accessories.

Still nothing on my end. My latest strategy is just going to local sales and trying to hit as many as I can on Saturday before calling it a day at 12:00 noon. I don't bother looking at craigslist anymore (especially since making fake sales is the new thing).

The competition in my area is insanity.

Here's my "haul"! Haha. Hulk games is mostly complete and the Casper vinyl is perfect despite the cover being a little rough. I only spent four dollars...five if you count the lemonade and cupcake I got from the kids.

sweet haul there!

---^ and that regretful feeling stays with you for quite some time. I hate that.

I saved up all this month's stuff, as it's just been trickling in. I acutally found a local used store that seems to be fruitful quite often! Which is great because local sales have been more stagnant this year. I did miss a weeking of g-saling too, now I'm wondering what I missed! (:O

This'll probably be the last haul o' the year. The things I love most in here are the vintage yellow Kreiss ceramic figure, Mezco Attack of the Living Dead figures, Halloween rats, Giant Weepul, LOTR Lothlorien, and Foo Dogs! ...especially the Foo Dogs. ^-^ Oh, and SHRUNKEN HEAD.

This is a one that got away story. Went to the thrift store yesterday. Stopped along the way to get a soda. When I get to the thrift store there is a guy in line holding a cardboard bow with 2 vintage joes. Both of them were red haired non fuzz haired. They were both clothed and he had a locker full of stuff. Total was $45. I shouldn't have stopped for that dumb soda. I did pick up a motorized razor for the kids for $8 and it works great.

Nice find on the Pac Man Coleco game. I'd love to find the Donkey Kong game at a good price. That was a steal at $10.

[Red Hulk]

the inserts in this album were black with red kiss army lettering, I'm not positive if they go in this one or one of the other kiss records. In all there were 7 different kiss albums so they could have ben mixed and matched at one point.

I had 2 copies of KISS Double Platinum one had a platinum album award and the other had the merchandise fold out,I ended up trading both for a copy of Grooves magazine presents KISS.

[MegoSteve]

If that's the same thing I'm thinking of, I loved that Mr. Jaws record when I was a kid.

[Werewolf]

Love those Coleco arcade games.

[Marvelmania]

being a big ramones fan as soon as I saw those I new I wanted the box. I knew there just had to be some other nice finds in there.

Nice score on the Pac-Man game I still have my Galaxian,did the KISS Double Platinum album have the inserts?

[RickD]

nice score on the Rocky poster and Pac Man coleco game

[Marvelmania]

Anyone pick up anything good lately?
Here's a few grabs from today.

1979 Rocky 2 poster $$3


M&M cuckoo wall clock $1


1980 Boxed Coleco Pac Man game $10


love this grab! a box of 70s & 80s records with some of my favorite bands. The guy had them marked from $1-$5 each but when I looked through the box I just asked what he wanted for it all, got all 108 albums for $25. Lots of Ramones, Kiss, Alice Cooper, Def Leopard, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Stray Cats, Van Halen, Cars, Beatles, SPK, Hendrix, Eagles, and just all kinds of odd ball stuff, K-Tel disco and other hard rock, punk, metal and pop. So far everything seems to be in great shape, clean and playable.

Here is my Sunday morning haul. I was pretty surprised and excited to find the World Class Championship Wrestling game as I have been looking for it for years and the best part is it is complete and so is the Barney Miller game.
