I'm really liking this idea of a thread, you guys have some cool stuff! Some stuff I have aren't recent finds, but once I get a new camera, I'll post some up.

Sweet Macross (Robotech) figure. I have been wanting one of those for many years but could never bring myself to plunk down the $60+ to buy one.

Are you interested in trading for it?

Hikaru is Rick in robotech aka macross. If I had enough I'd take it, but I don't.

Found a pair of True Religion jeans today for $12 at a thrift store. There were a pair of Bathing Ape shorts right next to them for like 8 but they looked like they were sized to fit a small house rather than a person so I passed on those.

Just picked up another Yahtzee handheld...but wow, looks like these may have dropped in price? Can't say I'm surprised, but I'm seeing one at $10 shipped on eBay. Sucks, they were pretty hot sells at $20 - $25 last year Oh well, like I said, guess I am not surprised!

hold it until near xmas..

$15 at Value Village about a week ago. I'll be removing the patches from the jacket at some point. They looked like they were put on the day before the jacket was donated.

removing the patches cause you dont like them, or cause you're putting them on something else? cause ill take them if you dont want them.

Picked up a Iron Horse Warrior 1.3 Mountain Bike from the Goodwill today for $20. It is not a great bike but pretty neat due to it has disk brakes. It needs a rear derailleur but I can pick one up for a few bucks at the bike co-op thing that I volunteer at. I plan on making it less mountain and more street friendly.

Yea probably the plan I suppose. At least it only cost me 95 cents!

This thread is depressing.

No one buys things to keep anymore?

Recent crap from a trip to Wisconson. Also not pictured is a pogo bal(l) i got for 25 cents.

I keep what I buy. I almost have my new bike road ready.

Here's something I found with the wifey ... pretty slick and probably hard to find complete like this.   One of the best items for a bathroom ever!





Sorry about the lighting

A big mac cookie jar from mcdonalds. $10

Now thats a BIG Mac! Great find!

Sometime ago I posted in this thread some of the old vintage toys and stuff I like to buy when I can get a nice deal, it's my other thing aside from games really. KY is a treasure trove compared to the wastelands of California. I hit a few nice small things today and I found a couple other recent things I hadn't photographed yet which were in another thread on this site about non-gaming finds before this was stickied. Ok as promised here's the stuff from today, also found a few other items from the last couple weeks or so of local hunting and even something from back west I have no idea why I didn't photograph before (pac-man 'plinko' portable. Anyway today's stuff would be Smokey the Bear ($50), Pac-Man lunchpail+thermos ($28), Pac-Man puzzle ($4), Pac-Man kids meal toy ($1.) That pretty much pissed my left over game selling savings in hand along with my $20/wk entertainment budget I give myself so I don't go insane.

Previously though I had picked up these things too. Last weekend for $15 I got this Japanese tin toy(still works) and the 70s Tonka Truck w/out a scratch on it.

Before that I remember getting the boxed train for $10 (same guy as the bird toy) and the Buddy L 1950s truck(missing towing piece in back.) Many months ago that handheld game was a couple dollars at a garage sale and the Pac-Man toy was from a couple years back at the flea out west which I think I got for a buck as it was just thrown on some table (it's fun.)


Also wanted to throw this in a found about a month ago rescued from a flea market for $125. This is after about 6hours of cleaning inside and out. I have a master parts list from AMF and I know what I'm missing, could set me back around another $150~ to finish it and I intend to!  The hose assembly in the back was an optional as was the footboard too, and that hose is complete with a brass wall fitting and a nossle on the other end.  Sadly a little washer is missing that holds it in place on the part away from the side but I know how it can be fixed, just need to find someone who can do a little spot welding as the part itself is expensive.


I have a lot of other fun stuff, even some WW2 items and one from the Spanish American war.  If you're curious about any of it feel free to ask and check the link to it all.  I'm not really a seller of this stuff, but some of it if the price was there I'd possibly consider it.  http://s232.photobucket.com/user/...

One of my better finds. Picked up a 1991 American '57 reissue Fender Strat with tweed case for $375. These typically top $1000.

Found a nice classic / somewhat rare tennis racquet. Looks like it has never been used, still has the tag on it and tension adjustment tool. Bergelin MacGregor Long String. Price: $2.99!

I had sold a Batman Returns lot that had about 4 of the cups and 3 of 4 of the lids about a year ago.  I had saved way too much McDonalds stuff and had to purge some of it!

Picked these up at an estate sale--$20 for the lot, all sealed on card. How'd I do?

edit: I think I know how I did as most of them seem to be obtainable for around $5-$10 on eBay.  Still a good price for me and my brother's vault of nostalgia, even if it's not gonna pay off my credit cards.

Bought these Kobe's to play basketball in but decided to look them up first before I wore them. Paid $53 after tax at the store. Just sold on eBay for $175 BIN
