My INSANE Garage Sale Pick Up

[Jar_Of_Flies83]

A city I live nearby has an annual city wide garage sale that I usually go to this year. The past few years I haven't found much until today! A friend of girlfriend of mine was at a house and said the guy had Captain Power toys. I rushed over to the house, and he had 3 Captain Power vehicles with the boxes, all for $15. I thought this was a total steal, which it was. He told me his kids didn't want their toys anymore and that he had more but he didn't feel like getting them. I was rummaging through a bin of junk he had and started to find Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, He-Man, and GI Joe parts and pieces. I finally encouraged him to go grab what he had out of his basement. He sold me the entire bag of miscellaneous toys and parts for $2! I also got the Star Wars book and the Inhumanoids toys with both boxes for $1 each! Then he came out with an entire 35 gallon garbage bin. I was excited to see what was inside, low and behold it was filled to the brim with GI Joes, file cards, figures, and vehicles. I was literally shaking, I was ready to pay whatever he wanted for the Joes. He said he wanted them gone and wanted $10, which I gladly paid! For some reason there is some action force stuff in there and some other foreign stuff which is super cool. I just thought I'd share this mega score with you all. I'm going back tomorrow to see if he has anything else left, I didn't want to get on his nerves. I will be selling most of it off since I have most of it all, the only things I'm keeping are the Night Raider, the Raider, and a few smaller things. I'm shocked at how nice the stickers are and how many things are in good shape, only a few are broken. Thanks for Looking!

[chabbio]

Damn! Nice find bro.

[sithlordsmart]

Lucky lucky man!!!!

[Sniper Viper]

I'll buy the Inhumanoids lot from you should you decide to sell.

[sithlordsmart]

Any Joe stuff you dont want ill gladly take off ur hands!! :)

[rglass2]

That's awesome man

[Sgt_dp]

Wow, Awesome score! I love the X-19 in such good shape.

[Zarana X]

Holy crap, Batman! That's a steal, even if he kicked you in the balls afterwards.

The Firebat and Hiss are the Mail in ones, but you probably know that.

[RockColdSlither]

Makes me want to go garage saling.

[Talisman]

Wow, Awesome score! I love the X-19 in such good shape.

That alone would make the entire transaction worth it, I think.

[samantha]

Amazing deal. Good for you. :)

[gruppenfuhrer88]

that shit just doesn't happen........dang you're lucky.

[mister-x]

not to sound greedy...

i wonder where the terror drome & skystriker are?

awesome score!!!

[Waspinator]

I really miss the 80s and 90s line.

[falcon_77]

Those file cards had to be someone's collection. Lucky you lots of vechicles to work with, you hit the jackpot, what did you pay for all this?

[Mandingo Rex]

That's an amazing haul! I'll take that Wolverine off your hands if you're looking to ditch her ;)

But seriously, that's a wacky haul. It's a good thing I don't have more storage space, because I'd fill it to the brim.

[cobracobra]

Damn and a gad darn Scare Glow that is a $40-$60 dollar He Man figure.

[CobraCrimson]

And the X19 has the rubber nose cone too! Lucky to find this score man, it just doesn't happen usually.

[Bantha5]

Great score. It is like a best of the 80's collection.

[judd]

INSANE indeed. Seems like it's either/or with finds like this, where you either get garbage bins for $10 or they want $50 for a skyhawk.

You got in on the fine side, and that's freakin' awesome. Hopefully you'll get the leftovers up in your BST thread, because I'm already making plans on some of those.

[musashi3000gt]

Holy crap! And that Phantom X-19 looks perfect! crazy crazy score. Congrats man!

[Python Viper]

Wow!! Awesome score!!

[jedicrippler]

Man, I could probably use some of those parts & accessories. And I need some blueprints & file cards...

[mamichula]

Wow great score!!!

[zweiman]

that is a sick score.. the stuff of legend!

[CG23]

Great haul!

[Ultra Magnus 71]

Wow great haul

[Big IV]

I was excited for you when you found the Captain Power in this story. Now I just hate you with envy. I haven't found anything this good at a yard sale ever. Congrats.

[Dagger]

Epic haul man

[cobralegion]

Awesome score! You even got a Power Commando!!

[CG76]

Insane. Best steal in a long long time.

[Headman]

I'm jealous.

[GI abe444]

$10!!???? Really OutStanding job!

[Lody]

WOw

Looking to sell any of those inhumanoids?

[TK1945]

I've been going to garage sales for years and have never found a score like this. I'd be shaking too!

[blackbarn]

Was Stalker touched by King Midas or what?

[SonOfMindbender]

Top 5 scores of the year!! Good Work!!

[uberthawk]

wow

[Dreadnok Rocksteady]

DUDE! EPIC SCORE! I think that's the score of the year! Sell that Scare Glow He Man figure and you'll make a crazy profit!

[Jar_Of_Flies83]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I'm actually keeping the Scare Glow He-Man figure for my collection, that was the piece that tipped me off that the guy might have had more 80s toys, which he did. I went back today and got even more stuff, nothing GI Joe related, but I got a transformers movie poster from the 80s for 50 cents, a vintage transformers puzzle for 50 cents, some vintage board games I'm flipping on ebay, some TMNT VHS tapes, some starcom vehicle, a Super Powers Play Doh set, in all everything I got from him cost me $5. If anyone wants to see pictures of the new stuff that isn't Joe related, let me know!

[Sniper Viper]

Hey Mark, if those Starcom &/or Bone Age are still up for grabs, let me know.

[sirt8669]

not to sound greedy...

i wonder where the terror drome & skystriker are?
