Got these off craigslist today. Never owned any Mego figures before. Majority of these are the re-issue they did recently. Mostly Star Trek. A few are older, but I haven't even had a chance to go through it.

 

 

Guy had a big Superman collection (14 bins full?) he dumped that had lunchboxes and the like. Also had a massive comic collection (worth 14k, sold for 9k he said) that included Action 3, Superman 2 or 3, long run of Superman starting at 50, etc. This was the just about the last of his collectibles that his wife was encouraging him to get rid of.

 

My second favorite craigslist find behind this guy, which I posted a few months back but have to show off again. Love the Hulk. My son is using it, but ripped off the mouth. Hoping he keeps the label intact.

I answered an ad for one of the items in the grouping (the MIB Darth Vader TIE Fighter) and it turned out the gent had some really nice vintage. I'm really glad I asked!

 

Among the stuff that I'm really stoked about is the MOC ESB 48 Back-C (with Revenge of the Jedi/Ackbar figure offer) and the MISB (1977) Kenner Canada Star Wars/GDE Darth Vader Bop Bag (second picture).

 

They made R2-D2 and Chewbacca bop bags as well. I have never seen another to date and I'd have to believe this to be an exceptionally rare production piece.

 

Along with the lot (third picture), I got a loose die-cast Vader TIE (along with the carded) which I quickly put in the display:

Alot of times when I'm looking through people's junky beat up modern and bronze boxes, I start thinking the same thing, but alot of times it pays to keep digging. I found that the decent stuff is usually hidden within the junk.

Flea markets and antique malls can be a good source of material. When the season starts again, I will have to start posting my finds this coming year. I always turn up some awesome vintage stuff; and to be honest, some of it I would rather offer it to my fellow 'boardies' at a discount then sell it all on eBay.

 

Happy hunting guys; and this is a great thread!

By the time I get there everything good is gone, or at least I assume that since I never find anything good there.

I was at an estate sale a few weeks ago and was gathering several items, I noticed an empty cardboard box in the back porch, I put all my things in it and kept on filling it. I decided to put the box on ebay last week, it just sold

Good for you, really!

 

But it's a box. Am I missing something? And what made you want to put an empty box on eBay?

There is no date on the box and researching it was a bit of a challenge, I new the 5 cent price of the poster packs told me it was old so I kept searching, I sent some photos to a baseball card guy who identified it to 1968 by the serial numbers on the bottom. Funny he did not make me an offer so I just listed it. I understand that it is more rareer than the product itself if you read my listing you will get my drift. funny thing is the things I was putting in the box turned out to be pretty good $$$wise.

[excelsior1986]

Wow, that's hilarious. Who would've known a box would sell for that much. Maybe the bums in my town should start listing all their boxes on eBay instead of recycling them.

[The Amazing Chump]

Found these at an antique mall while on a buying trip for something else, so these were just a bonus. Happened to run into the booth owner, too, and he gave me half off the whole lot. Overall, not a bad deal.

Interesting story though. I never would have even known!
