Thift Stores: Still finding Megos!

[4NDR01D]

Hit 20-30 yard sales, 15 thrift stores, a couple estate sales and 5 flea markets every week for the next 6 months and I guarantee you will find vintage toys.

i want to move to where you live. 95% of the flea's around here have closed in the last 4 years, auctions around here are always farm equipment and yard sales are just plain crap. Thank god for eBay or I'd have to find a new hobby.

Ain't that the truth!
Hey, how much for the naked Batman with chewed ears and missing a foot and someone painted a bat symbol on his chest?
$65???
Keep it!

Are you kidding? You mean to tell me that you would pass on that deal? That is a RARE HTF variant. There is only probably less than a couple of thousand of these known to exist. hahaha LOL!!!

I find vintage stuff here and there but it's not very often anymore. And if I do people think it's worth a fortune and want too much for it...

I found a complete Planet of the Apes horse for $7 a few months ago in a toy box labeled half price. It even had the battery cover. That made my year altogether. Couldnt get to paying it fast enough.

the one flea market I go to every now and then has been getting a little better at having some misc. older stuff ... most are beat to heck and not worth the effort.

I have found a couple nice deal on common vintage stuff ... but nothing jaw dropping amazing

I haven't found any megos lately at the flea markets or yard/estate sales I try to hit when I can, but I did find a couple of weeks ago a Bionic Woman Halloween costume (Ben Cooper - Solid Box) that was in mint condition, paid $10 for it.

you guys are all lucky! not once have i ever found a mego in a thrift store, there was a bats and spidey once in a pawn shop( which is compareble, lol) but not at a thrift store

[deadpool]

i went to a grage sale a couple of weeks ago and found a undressed mistelplit not sure of the spelling but anyways ,i allready had an old one with clothes but his hand was broke so i swithed out fits and now have a complete one , you guys are right there are some treasures to be found out there for sure.

I don't think I've ever run across any Megos at yard sales, thrift stores or flea markets. I can't even recall any at antique malls but I wasn't really back into them until last June so I may not have actively noticed them and if they were there, they were likely way overpriced for their condition.
I plan on looking for them specifically when I go on vacation this summer.

I do believe they are out there (along with other vintage toys). I just really think the "hunters" are there before you and snatch all the good stuff up and sell it on ebay.

I have not seen a vintage toy at garage sale, flea market or thrift store in a good 20 years. The stuff I have seen looks like it came out of a landfill. The horrors I have seen. THE HORRORS I HAVE SEEN!!! Truly the stuff of nightmares. So I can no longer accept or believe that people still find Megos and cool vintage toys in the wild.

You are all lying to me just to mess with my head. Lalalalalalalal, I can't hear you, lalalalalalala.

It's all happy meal toys and crazy-haired Barbies around my neck of the woods. Years ago I did find a capeless Super Powers Superman for $1. But that's it.
