2015 Urban Safari Hunting Hauls (Garage Sale, Antique/Thrift Stores, Auctions...)

[Blue Meanie]

I seem to recall those sets being sold on the old QVC Star Wars specials

Being that they came out in the early 90's it is quite possible that they were.

Picked this lot up today - value?

Picked this lot up today. I know this is difficult, but trying to justify that I bought it. What do you guys think a ballpark figure would be for this stuff.

wow Frank, that is one helluva pickup. are you going to sell? I might be interested in one of the AA muscle body torso's

[Frank]

Not sure why they came out upside. I'm gonna end up keeping a few of the joes and 2 of the carded Chips figures.

This Coke thermometer for $2, sold for $40


Cast iron horse head hitching post for $5, sold for $50


Plus I got a 14k gold chain for $1, sold for $60

Subdivision sales just outside of the closest small town; a rare treat for those of us who live in the sticks. Not much as far as old things, but still a nice pile of stuff for around $30, especially with the stained glass piece.

I did quite well again this past weekend. An old, rich neighborhood had a neighborhood wide sale.

For $8, I found a 14k antique gold ring, two brooches made by famous designers, and a vintage railroad lantern.

I am taking the ring to get it appraised Wednesday. It weighs a ton. Someone asked me how I could find a ring like this and buy it from someone not knowing what it is. I told them it was not like the ring was in a giant pile of junk jewelry and them not knowing it was there. This thing was in a ziplock bag by itself with a $1 price tag on it. I don't feel guilty what so ever. These people live in a million dollar home, their loss.




The brooches are worth $200-$300 each, made by Mariam Haskell and Schreiner


The lantern is made by Pocko of New York, worth about $100

[theantiquetiger]

Just got the above ring cleaned, weighed, and appraised. It is 11.51 grams with a Citrine stone, and it appraised for $2200. The jeweler said I should get around $800 for it (40% of appraisal).

Come to find out the brooch made by Miriam Haskell is quite rare and may bring upwards of $1000. I am still thinking $200-$300. (brooch on the right in above photo)
