I was out of town for the weekend and didn't have net access. I checked Craigslist this morning and found this gem:
http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/tag/2315368642.html It's got the full set of 88 Night Force figs and a Starduster, all for only $50. I messaged the guy as soon as I saw the listing knowing that the lot was probably spoken for, and I just heard back from him confirming that. Maybe a year and a half ago, I saw another listing that had a Night Raven, Skystriker, Conquest, Rattler, Tomahawk and TTBP for $200. The kicker was that they had the boxes and they looked to be in great shape too. I was looking to split the lot with Bats as I didn't have the money for the whole thing, and after talking to him to confirm that we should go after it, we ended up missing out on the lot by a matter of minutes! So if you have any Almost got 'Em scores, post them here. Or if there's already a thread on this, mods, please feel free to merge. |

2 months ago I listed that I was going to pick up my second Flagg first tomahawk and a few other various mint condition pieces. I call the guy letting him know I was on my way confirm his address and reconfirm his price. 15 minutes later I'm still driving and he calls me back saying that he changed his mind.
Regardless I was a bit pissed...oh well |

Oooooooo... Don't remind me of that time! I was gonna sell my soul to have 1/2 of that lot from last year. You have some good deals going on up there in the DFW area. I scored in Bryan last year for my friend. Next time Strider calls me... I am just gonna answer the phone: YES!!

Ugh...the pain of that return email saying "sorry, spoken for"...I know it all too well.
Maybe about 2 years ago I lived in Minnesota. While checking Craig's list for an outboard motor, I came across a listing for "G.I.Joe Space Shuttle Station". Turns out a Mom was selling her son's Defiant....she didn't seem to savvy in respect to G.I.Joe due to the way the listing was written (understandable) so I was hoping I was the first one to see the listing. I shot the lady an e-mail and followed up with a phone call about 30 minutes later. Granted, she was a very sweet lady, but kept me on the friggin' phone for 10 minutes just to say "oh, no, sorry, it's long gone. I just don't know how to remove the listing on CL." =/ So, what did she end up selling? Not only the defiant (at this point I'm still unsure how complete/incomplete it was), PLUS a "big black plane with a little plane that sits on it" (night raven) and a "small green tank with legs" (?? I'm thinking it has to be the SLAM)... For the astronomical price of... wait for it... $100. To whomever might have bought that lot...I salute your awesome haul, ya bum! (lol) |

Missed a Mickey Mouse Cobra Commander by 5 minutes from a seller at Frank & Son's. He sold it for $25.

LOL, I was going to say.. Croc Master bought that lot. I think he said he was going to go through it and end up selling some of the figures.

There have been a number of lots on Craigslist I passed on only to find out (because I knew who bought them) that there was hidden gold buried unseen in pics.
