I myself have never,ever have any luck finding joes in a yard sale or garage sale. I suppose its Karma because that's how I got rid of all of my old toys when I "grew up" back in 86'. I was just curious if any of you guys ever had any luck finding joes in a yard sale or garage sale ?

I have never found any Joes at yard or garage sales, but I did find a few the last time I was at a Goodwill store. I saw a clear plastic bag with various toys in it for $3 that didn't have much, so I looked around and found a few more for the same price in the back with some stuff I recognized.
I bought both and found 4 25th Crimson Guards, a POC Jungle Viper, a ROC Charbroil, 25th Wild Bill, a 3 3/4 Iron man and some of those Build n Brawl WWE figures (Rey Mysterio, John Cena, and a guy who looks like he was from some Grease reject movie... I think his name was Deuce or Domino... some kind of stupid WWE gimmick that didn't work out) that are great for customs. I NEVER find anything at Goodwill stores, so this was a great little surprise. All of the figures were in great shape too. Most of their weapons were even in the bag including all of the Jungle Viper's! I haven't found anything since, but I keep trying! lol

I find gi joe vintage or 25th or movie joes all the time at yard sales garage sales or goodwill all the time. Lots of times it's a mega deal or very little times priced at retail prices. Just last week I bought a huge bag of body parts and a very rare mickey mouse cobra commander to MIB compete tomahawk to a tyco electric trucking set MIB never been used for $15 dollars. I always post the finds in the vintage haul thread.

Luckiest I've been is I've found a mail-in V1 Sgt Slaughter and a Cobra Stinger at a flea market. I tried the yard sale thing once when all the communities had their yard sales in the area last year. Didn't find anything. Might have to start checking the couple Goodwill's around here.

It has been a while for me to find anything. I found a V1 wetsuit with no accessories about three months ago.
