YARD SALE FINDS!

Well, I am a bit backed up on showing off my finds, but here they are, better late than never!

May 14-a neighborhood sale very close to my house. I could not resist. So, I got some breakfast and headed out. Not much, but I did score later in my hunt.

Check out this case! First score of the day. Richard Petty's car just stuck out to me.

For .25 cents each, I scored these MEGA RIG parts:

I scored these vintage bicycle reflectors, still with the package for .75 cents. I've already flipped them for $10.

An old-fashioned popcorn popper thing-I only paid $2.50 for it, I think I can make a few bucks.

This hard to find Atari 2600. These are the ones from about 1985/86 and are more valuable than the older, more common consoles. Everything works, I just had to clean the paddles and one joystick. I figure I can at least double my money.

For FREE I got this 1963 Huffy Silver Jet. I'll either part it out and junk it or fix it (I am restoring a boys frame 1966 model). This 'ole girl still had the tail light!

Found these nice buttons, I believe the Batman one is pretty old, I'd say 70s at the latest.

Friday, I got early dibs on a sale down the street!

I don't normally buy solid state radios unless they are wild looking. This one had class, and worked perfectly. For $1, I couldn't beat it!

Saturday morning, I pull out one of my Classics and go down there. BINGO! $4 for all of it! The Christmas stuff really had me going!

A case with cars for 50 cents. What the heck?
[IMG]http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa306/rlfan1/Finds/029.jpg[/IMG]

Late in the day, about 2:00 PM, I score this old 80s hand held game. It needs some work, but I think I can sell it. I also scored a Playstation for 50 cents (I'll include that with a deal on another one).

[B]Cool stuff, love the old fashioned, power robbing, x-mas tree lights, lol![/B]

[B]Found these at a yard sale 9 days ago, most of them have already been sold...........[/B]

[B]Guess it was just my lucky day............[/B]

YIPE! I ain't found a Red at yard sale YEARS! Not since I was at least 8th grade...

Thsoe lights called out to me. How often do you find Christmas lights with PINK strands!! The ice bulbs alone are $30 out of the box. Maybe I should wait until fall and strike when the iron is hotter? LOL!

I have that case with Pettyand the Dodges on the front, got it in the lot.

Hey would you part with the Chevette at a reasonable price? Long story, but my buddy had one when he was 15. It had a Cherry Bomb and slotted mags on it. That car had 3,000 extra miles on it before either of us had a license. It's amazing what you could get away with back in the day. But for that reason, I always try to pick up first gen. Chevette stuff when I see it.

I also have a first gen Chevtte emblem too out in the shed. There is a more rare Pontiac version at a junkyard I frequently go to. But yes, I would part with it.

EDIT: It ain't in the shed, so it must be in the basement. I know I didn't scrap it. I don't scrap anything Classic-or if I do, its very rare.

EDIT (again):

Found it. Here it is:

Oh and what "lot"?

First off I responded to your PM. Let me know on shipping on the Chevette model. I got this lot around Christmas I think. It had that same case with the Petty cars and the Dodges.

NICE! Love those Matchbox cases.

My brother and I had those GI JOE book & records when we were kids. Those were the BEST. We played them to death...

nice finds but is it still safe to use the Christmas lights? i like the plastic dodges you found.
