I had an excellent haul over the weekend. Not only did I stop at every yardsale I could find, I also went to several thrift stores (including 7 Goodwills and two Salvation Armies) as well as the Tri-Cities Flea Market and the Bargain Hunters store in Bristol, Tennessee for a sale/parking lot yard sale. Among the things I purchased include: 

• An Xbox 360 with keyboard and 5 games—Dead Island, Escape Dead Island, and three Call of Duty Games (I plan to sell the Call of Duty Games) for $35
• A box of Trolls for 50 cents a piece
• 3 Mad Magazine tin signs (Alfred Eats Corn; Who Needs You?; Spy vs Spy) for $9 a piece
• A boxed Wolverine Spy action figure for $9
• A Skylanders Head Rush figure still in box
• An out-of-box Imaginext Dragonzord with Dragon Dagger and Tommy for $7
• 5 classic issues of Archie Comics and a Bartman comic for a buck a piece
• A giant plush Pink Ranger for $2 and a boxed Nick Fury Disney Infinity figure for a $1.50

I don't know how to post images, but if I figure it out, I will post some of my various great finds. 

I finally successfully completed a transaction on the letgo app. This $2 Disney Infinity Falcon (never been opened). It was a great transaction. I successfully set up a meeting place (library) with the woman I was buying it from, meet up with her there, and did the transaction—all without speaking one word (since I have autism, this is a huge positive). Even better, I went into the library and discovered a fill a bag up with books for $1 sale. I managed to fit 49 books of various sizes into one plastic grocery bag. I'm that good.







I got something else today, as well:




Meet Zach (orange) and Trini (gray). My other cat (Tommy) also had three kittens last night. Hard to believe how fast I went from having one cat to six.

I had some nice luck at my local flea market today. At one vendor I picked up a box of 23 unopened star wars figures from 1996-1999 for $12. At another I got some 1980s comic books and a box of 1990s happy meal toys and matchbox cars all for $5.

4.99 goodwill find.

Niiiiice!  

Alright so I was at my parents house going through some things and happened to stumble on my old posters. I remember buying them around 08-09. I have no recollection of where or how I came across them but here is what I found and where I need some help.

First, it is this poster



So when I found mine I started doing some research. First off, mine is still rolled and wrapped in plastic, as if it was never opened from the distributor. Here is my poster.



I started looking into the poster and found that this is double sided, and it is an advanced copy (hence the movie release date unlike the original picture I referenced. I can tell that mine is the same poster as the picture I posted because of the way the orange fire/spots are laid out around the date.

the problem is I literally cannot find any information on this poster as another website shows 2 other different styles for the advance posters that were used in the United States to promote the movie
So I messaged some Vintage Movie poster store on Facebook asking about it and they said it's a German poster from their promotion of the movie. That it measure 23" by 33", while the United States ones measure 27 x 41" as you can see from the picture with the tape measure, mine is 27" across as well. So now I'm completely confused and the people from the store haven't replied back yet as they said they were out of town and would get back to me (it's been a week).

anybody have experience in this realm of collecting? Am I sitting on something decent or is this worthless? 


 

I just picked up a small selection of Superboy comics, priced $3-$5 each.

Superboy is kinda what I'm collecting in the comic realm, I think think the covers are absolutely ridiculous. It makes it fun.

Picked up an Ibanez bass amp on Friday from Goodwill. $10 well spent and she sounds beautiful!

$10? damn, nice pickup. My local goodwill has tried to charge that for the PaperAmpz garbage.
 

Had some lucky finds at the flea market today. Got a gi joe cobra hiss IV tank,loose cobra commander,unopened Duke, 2 unopened cobra troopers for $12. Also a bag of mini Transformers for $3.

That looks like an official poster that would be distributed to theatres. It's double sided so it'll look good outside sitting in a poster case. There is a market for posters, but it isn't lucrative and is more of a hassle than anything else.

In addition to video games I love finding older holiday decorations at yard sales. Picked these up this pink Christmas tree for a second holiday set up in the house for $15 and all of these holiday decorations from a retired teacher for $2. Score!

Found this comic for only $20.
It's from 1947, making it one of the older Archie published comics for sure, and something I've been wanting since 2009.
Not this exact comic necessarily, just something from the Golden Age.
Rest assured I have this completely protected, and my next purchase will be a frame for it.

For modern posters yeah that's probably true, especially something like dark knight with such a wide release (although at least its a well loved movie).    You need vintage to have much value.    Can get into six figures if old/desirable enough.

$500,000 for this one:

4/28/18: looking for a chair for my daughter to keep at my Grandmas house when we visit and I stumbled upon an old chair with decals from the G-Force anime. I looked for a year on it and it only has what I assume are Japanese symbols. Pretty neat for $0.99 and my kid loves it

Was looking around in a local shop for famicom games, decided to take a look in the musical instrument area. Managed to pick up a working 1986 Boss DS-1 distortion pedal for 3000JPY (about $30)

Found a TOSHIBA SD-9200 DVD Player (MSRP of 1,999 in 2000)
Has a full copper chassis, and plays DVD AUDIO, SACD, HDCD, CDs and CDR very beefy machine for 25.00

I stopped by my favorite thrift store today hoping to find some games or interesting toys. I left with a container of Godzilla and monsters figures for $6, two hard cover dungeons and dragons books for $1 each, an unopened Simpsons world of Springfield Moe figure, marvel infinite series Shanna figure, and strawberry shortcake Orange Blossom for $1 each. I 'm especially happy to add the Godzilla stuff to my small collection.

Bought used from guiatar center for $250, not a crazy steal, but I've wanted an *-string forever and Legator's are pretty damn good.
Model is a Legator Ninja N8-100.
 

I found all this in a someones trash by they road I couldn't help looking through it they had alot of pool toys and stuffed animals on top after some digging I found all this there were dvds in the game cases but was a score in my opinion!

Found these marvel heroes cars, vaguely remember having some like it when I was little. They are cheap feeling for sure, even say made in china on bottom(only markings). As seen in the pictures the paint jobs are rough. Were these some kind of DIY toy cars? Either way I picked them up because I had a memory of something similar when I was little. Thanks.
