        It is opened, but never played with. MIB and stickers never applied.

          Nice to meet you too, Chris. I most likely have a bunch of parts from those Marx playsets too, as well as that Prehistoric set in that big junk box I bought.

          I actually wish I would have documented this sale with pictures, because it really was something legendary, if you ask me. To see this much stuff in one house was almost too good to be true.

          Not to be Mr. Negativity as always, but it annoyed me to see she charged you for that Marx box after the amount of stuff you purchased from her. I think that was pretty low. I've been going to their sales since I started doing Estate Sales and I always thought them to be one of the better companies, but after her overall attitude this time around, I think I'm going to avoid them from here on end.

            That would be awesome if you are interested in letting me complete them. We should talk.... :-)

            Amen! It was simply amazing. So hard to soak it all in. Just so much!

            Yeah, I thought it was kinda lame all things considered. For everyone who might be reading this and not understand, I had purchased a loose Navarone playset from the sale and then about an hour later the box for it was unearthed. She charged me for the box. I understand everyone wants to make their "cut", but she was a tad pricey and not terribly easy to deal with. LOL

              Just awesome! Good job guys! Out of curiosity, without getting into details too much, how were the prices? Total steals? Half of retail? 75% of retail? Was some stuff priced over retail?

                  She was tough to deal with. She was related to the family and wanted to make the most money for them that she could. Honestly, I am thinking I can double my money. Maybe a littlt better.

                    If you've ever met Chris, you know he truly is the one guy you would want to end up with this haul.

                    Those Marx playsets, especially the dinosaur one, I remember wanting badly as a kid.

                          It has a small crack on the face of the castle. Other than that, it is in very nice condition. Unplayed with!
