That is a terrific haul!!!! Just for a week I'd like to follow you and Greg around! So far this year I've picked up an 8mm movie projector, some vintage stereo equipment (nothing great), some collectible glasses and a Kung Fu TV soundtrack album. Not much as far as toys but the hunt is still fun.

You were one of the ones I was wondering about, Tim. From previous posts, I know you find good stuff from time to time.

As far as Luey goes--he sets the bar pretty high. I wish I had his skillz....

Nice little haul you have there. I have recently (within the last two years) become addicted to sales as well. There once was a time I would never even think about going. I went to a few with someone else and the rest is now history. Now cannot wait to get to them and I love the thrill of the hunt. I have found a few treasures here and there. Nothing like I would really like to find though.

Most recently I found:

a red line Hot Wheel I paid a quarter for it

Austin Power's - Fembot new in the box for a buck

An Adventure people vehicle - paid .75 for it

A really super clean almost new condition Evil Knievel with motorcycle (I didn't really look as I snatched it up so fast, but I would imagine that it is the newer reproduction) Still a find for me. I paid $4.00 for it. Maybe a bit steep to some, but I was hard up to find any goodies so I took it anyway.

A couple of original Star Wars figures. The names escape me right now. I paid like a quarter a piece for them.

Some Barbie's from the 60's (seems to be pretty common around these parts)

A Barbie pop up tent and jeep in the original box from the 70's.

There has been a lot more stuff. Most of it probably not worthy of posting here though.

It is very rare that I find anything Mego or Mego related. Therefore, I am always looking for Mego like toys and or accessories to fit Mego's. Anything else I find is just a bonus to me. I think to date I have actually found two Mego's total and they were nothing spectacular IMO.

Very Nice Finds!!!

I had a great $20 find today, a game used LSU Baseball jersey for 2003 or so. The frame alone is around $150 (because of where it was framed at). I got it at a high end neighborhood near the country club. The guy said he won it at a charity raffle/auction:



Did some research, found a picture from 2003 Regional (or Super Regional) where it may have been worn:

I found a neat little case with a bunch of mini Super Hero figures not long ago. Paid $3.00 for them. The person was asking $3.25 I asked them if they would take $3.00 for them. I know man I really got them on that extra quarter. Actually, I hate carrying around loose change. Therefore, I do not carry any loose change generally. That is why I even bothered haggling with them (if you will) in the first place. It was much easier for the both of us to deal with the three one dollar bills and go on with our day. Besides who marks their stuff $3.25 anyway? Where is that pet peeve thread of mine right now. I have yet to take a picture of the case of figures yet. They are pretty neat looking though. Spidey, Mrs. Spidey, Cap, Thor, Invisible Woman and a bunch more I cannot think of right now.

Also while looking for Mego's and Mego like accessories I recently found this 12" Dare Devil and whatever this other thing is ????? at a Goodwill store for a buck a piece. Along with a bunch of 12" G.I. Joes (newer releases) not the good older one's unfortunately. (not pictured)
