  1. The Fashion Teeners and Skediddle Kiddles do really well on eBay. My wife and I have sold a lot of Kiddles over the years and Skediddles sell quickly. The Dawn dolls are a good find, but harder to sell IMO. I really like the Rock Flower line, but that stuff is really hard to sell. The Ideal Petite Princess stuff, on the other hand, sells well in lots. Don't feel too badly about missing out on the Micro Machines and some of the Star Wars stuff. Chances are that what you picked up is worth more than what you missed. I would have taken this stuff over the Micro Machines every day of the week. Congrats.

     

    Thanks !

  2. I just haven't sold on feebay in so long..I am..like ..not confident about selling them myself..

     

    I was surprised at that furniture they must have had some warehouse find because that stuff is going cheap..

     

    I am just so worried that I will miss a check box or forget to opt out of something and end up getting screwed...

     

    I am trying to move a bunch of stuff for my big old "end of sight " trip

    (long story short I am ill and it is eating my eye balls up and I have lost a lot of vision so far..they "might" be able to save it but..just in case I want to get a trip in before to see Wizarding World of Harry Potter (my husband cannot go because he just had a heart stent put in) then go visit my parents and if I am still vision abled and have any money left take my granddaughter on a trip to see fashion design in action as she is 16 and aspiring fashion designer)

     

    Anyway so I just haven't been able to start..

     

    plus I am afraid ebay will hold the monies until after my first trip..

     

    or something will happen..

     

    The dolls are Nrfb..what if someone buys one and then returns it opened ?? etc etc

     

    I have been looking for a reseller that I am familiar with who wants a cut or something to list

     

    etc..I just do not know many people locally..

     

     

    But yes I will be checking this store every dang day..

     

    because yes ..very very good find especially at the prices I paid..

     

    The Star Wars lot came up on FB Swap and Shop thread..and tons of people were all gung ho about it..

     

     

    But my husband is the earliest of early birds...I am the latest of night owls..we drove down and were waiting at the end of the drive for his "come by after 8 to view" and he was like "Wow you were first..Okay deal!"

     

    Then everyone in the FB thread was all "I would have paid you XXXXXX amount of dollars ..you got robbed etc"

     

    The guy said come by and shoot an offer..he didn't counter..we got a deal on that too

     

  3. Thrift store find which was so amazing..I was like..wtf..

     

    I had to keep wondering if I feel into some shrooms or something remco,mattel,many other brands dolls from 1960-70s allllllllllllllllll new never removed from box (except one rockflowers box was opened and one dawn doll was missing shrink wrap)

     

    Those "Fashion Teeners" are a rare find..

     

    Also hoping to flip these sometime soon..I have a trip coming up lol

     

    vintage petite princess doll furniture also all new in box..

     

    SO I got these and of course went back to the same store the next day to check for other goodies..

     

    arrived just in time to see a guy walk out with several bags of NEW in box vintage micromachines

    the original teeny boxes and some Star Wars carded ones..

     

    I only managed to snag a ROJ new on card and a small car set he left behind ..

     

    needless to say I will be checking this store more often

     

    someone donated some out of business toy store stock or something..

  4. Good day cleaning up dusty old toys...

     

    Swap and Shop find Star Wars 14 vehicles 9 playsets..130 figures cases..instruction manuals a bit dirty..

     

    I am hoping to flip before Christmas (what I don't want for my personal collection)

     

    I swear it was like I found in one spot every toy from ESB and ROJ that my mother ever threw out..

     

    only a few pieces from first movie though..

     

    verrrry verry sweet and I am thinking I will have to have some massive playtime with them before I flip lol

  5. Burden of proof??

     

    I was in the thread..HE FLAT OUT ADMITTED that his friend made the fake books up..told us to all screw ourselves he was making money ..

     

    He said he was out and out making and selling FAKE MANUFACTURED multiple cover books

     

    I have no idea why CGC didn't care enough to leave thos incriminating responses in a thread..so other people could KNOW this guy ADMITTED

     

    He was running a scam..

     

    He deflected it several times with different excuses but did come clean..

     

    So why is this a discussion..

     

    If someone else was on here making up fake books..

     

    Wouldn't you want them gone for the good of the rest of us??

  7. Last thrift store grab had an awesome bunch of Star Wars minis..I cannot be sure the ships and stuff are complete

     

    Some of the really old stuff looks dated (I have a boxed set of pieces and like random small pieces from 80's did a big pick a few months back and got a lot..

     

    Then I bought a bunch of bioncles like 18 new in can type deals and since then have a trash bag full of them now too..

     

    I know it probably sounds bad I put them into trash bags but they were in individual bags and I had to find a way to keep my husband out of them..

     

    He went through all the one vintage lot which was castles and such in sorted boxes..

     

    And he dumped them all together and sorted the bricks by color into bags instead..

    Which makes no sense..if you have a space play set you should keep it together not sort it into the box with the castle..so while he wasn't looking I bagged them into a closet

     

    I thought those mini figures were too cool..

     

    And then After I posted them I said...wait maybe they have some ideas on getting them gone..

     

    Yay thanks

  8. Holy Jalapeño

     

    That is keen I will have to look at that more intently when I have the computer and not my tiny phone screen...

     

     

    I started finding them and buying them I usually give sets in box to the grandkids

    But some of these are nice sets like big Xwing fighters and castles etc etc..

    Some are older and I can't seem to give them to an 8 yr old..

     

    New ones (like the ghost buster one I got minty fresh) that are too cool..I kind of keep for me..lol

     

    A lot of people sell them bagged as a set with the instructions I try to snap them up are cheap enough

  9. SO if you say have like an incredible amount of loose legos..

     

    some grouped into sets some not..

     

    What is the best way to unload that sort of thing??

     

    I have been picking them up when I can and usually give sealed boxes to the grandkids..but literally have two black lawn bags full of random sets mostly sorted by sets into bags unless my husband got hold of them..he is a doofus and sorts them ALL together by color..I like to keep them in sets with the manual and stuff..

     

    so..thoughts on it??

     

    I have a lot of minifigs too but mostly Star Wars ones..and Comic related..

  10. I gave up "garage sales" a long time ago. Just seems like a waste of gas driving round and usually buying something I shouldn't have just because I got up. I rarely find much at them here anyway. "Estate sales" are a little better and you usually know what there is going to be. Trouble is the pushing and shoving. I have hit the older areas and found a few things. Most of the "hipsters" have cleaned out the houses when they moved in. Flea markets are the best. I just pay a little more and let some dealer do the leg work for me. I usually look for older stuff and hope the dealer didn't do his "homework".

    What do you mean by the hipsters that clean out the houses? You mean throw away/trash?

     

    They throw away A lot of good trash here..I have currently three store fronts I have opened in the last year. The word has gotten out I will take "trash" I get some really awesome "trash"

     

    Speaking of trash some idjut just bought two long boxes of it from a store I pick..the woman was arguing with the manager about price..she ended up paying about $1.50 each...for the best of 1990 glut books..

     

    one person's trash..somebody else's "treasure" but she got ripped lol I wouldn't have even gone $20 a box on those books..
