I was installing cable in a home yesterday and i was in the customers basement. i noticed a transformers booklet from the 80s and i say aloud "oh, you have transformers"? the cust replies "yes, i have them in the attic. do you like them"? without being overly eager i reply "oh yes, i collect them and gi joe as well". he then responds "oh i have gi joes too if you want them." i try not to sound to eager after he suggests opening the attic asap. i tell him "let me start my job first then we can get to the task." he later open the closet and i start seeing old goodies....but not to my interest. i saw old trains from the 60's. i then saw the rolling thunder box! i quikly went over to it and bought it down. it contained 1 rolling thunder, 1 hiss 2 tank and 1 power master optimus prime!!! there's my tip!!!

nothing beats the story when i owned a construction company and we were gutting out an attic and there were 2 army footlockers. i opened the first and it was chock full of 82-85 gi joes!!! i started to drool. they were all heavily played with and most were painted with paint or marker. the second contained g1 boxed transformers!! jetfire, prime, some of the cars, omega supreme...all boxed!!! i literally came in my pants! but at the time, i believed in karma and although the owner said everything left in the attic was trash, i told him of what he left. he said "oh wow...i forget about those. ill give them to my 4 year old son". i almost cried!! the trasformers were gold and his son would destroy them. my losss, his son's gain i guess.

I found some empty G1 Boxes in an attic one time and the ghetto punk asses accused me of stealing the toys. They were in the process of moving in the day of my install. I crept up on them later and cut their cable so they needed a reinstall, then I declined to service their account. LMAO!

I would trade a rolling thunder for a night force outback any day of the week.
