      Lots of the Hess trucks, yeah...loose and/or nekkid Bratz, paper jamz guitars & etc, stuffed animals, partial Fisher price toys, disney Princess stuff...well it'll be easier to tell you what I DON'T see...MEGOS.

      And what is it now with Goodwill & the lot marking this stuff at Ebay pricing? Used to find stuff at a buck or two, now you pick up a game & it's marked $10 or $20. Of course, it sits there until the unsupervised kids have trashed it trying to open it from the packing tape the store wrapped around it. I can get somebody higher up deciding that if someone is gonna flip it for more, it should be them, but wouldn't it make more sense to sell it for $2 than trash it later? They do have a website to sell things, but from what I hear the bidding is pretty suspect.

        Batmobiles.
        During the summer I always pick up a few of the newer Batmobiles (at least two or three Tumblers) from kids who got fed up with them, and then sell them at conventions to "bigger kids".

          I like to buy the baggies full of miscellaneous action figures, and I almost always end up with a toy penguin in one of them. At some point I realized these guys would make good minions for "The Penguin" (The Batman villain), so now I save them all and am building up a penguin army.

            I never find anything worth mentioning in the local thrift stores. Its usually modern childrens toys or barbies. I'm beginning to think its this area, but this is suppose to be a military town. (People always coming and going)
