Big weekend at the yard sales. Two big scores – First was the box of Transformers. Nice mix of stuff at a nice price. Second was finding a Star Wars collector unloading her collection. Unloading it priced to move. I was there as she was unloading it and had first picks, but I was literally overwhelmed by how much there was (and how little she was asking)... I bought maybe ¼ of the figures and just a couple of vehicles. I should have bought everything – Or at least all the figures. It was a once in a lifetime chance to pick up a premium collection for a fraction of retail. Oh well.... Tfs (incomplete unless noted) Cyclonus Kup Snaptrap (w/shield) Nautilator (w/arms) Skullcruncher Strafe (w/ cannons) Triggerhappy (missing TM & 1 wing) TsM Airrazor - Complete TsM Rattrap BW Razorclaw – complete BW Claw Jaw – complete Battletrap Flamefeather Cyb Quickmix Eng Inferno Super Spay-C Gobot Defendor 8 Micromasters 2 Powermaster Engines 3 Rock Lords Pile of junkers Star Wars: Target Imp Shuttle (Complete w/ figs) Repub Gunship Legacy Falcon (the huge 3' one, comp, not in pic) Target Endor AT-ST Battle-pack (MISB, not in pic) 14 carded figures (10 are Concept figs) Fett Evolutions set 60 figures loose, complete 10 comic 2pack fig sets (no comics) Full Cantina band set Baggie of Joe parts & 4 figs Baggie of Lego parts Large bag of mostly TMNT parts 12” Gandalf the Grey figure Whatever else is in the pic Total Cost: About $115. Anyone else have any luck?
Nice work! I haven't found anything the past couple of weeks. The local flea market is starting to wind down for the winter. Yard sales are slowing up too. I think it's gonna be awhile before I find anything again.
Yup, the season is winding down fast for me, too. October holds two big events that I finish my year off with: Last week's area yard sale day, and this weekend's rummage sale - Though there's usually not a lot of toys at the rummage sale anymore... Still great for books, CD's & DVD's. After that, I have one thrift store that does toys to tide me over until spring. But that's OK - I need the rest and chance to sort all that I got.
Rework, do you buy most of this for yourself or do you flip some it? In any event that is an impressive haul and I am too green with envy.
I'll keep the SW stuff (for a while at least) and most of the TFs will probably end up at a future Botcon.
I went to the flea market last weekend and got 5 Armada Unicrons that were missing pieces...65.00 A powermaster Optimus Prime...22.00 A box full of Transformers that had SDCC Nemesis Prime, SDCC Soundwave complete, Another unicron, A Primus, Two Universe Dropshots', A g1 Blaster,Metroplex incomplete, An Omega Supreme (G1) missing only the tracks, A G1 Galvatron missing the legs, A G1 complete Menasor, and to top it all off A G1 Megatron Complete.... 125.00 for a grand total of $212.00 A nice find. You never know what you will find at a yard sale or the flea market
