Marketplace find (only because I don't have any flea markets within 3 hours of me and yard sales aren't quite happening yet where I live)

I figured $4 a book all in shipped to my door was a good price to take a gamble on 35 or so books. The closer up pics I was provided show these to be in Fine or better shape too, which I am happy about. Plus, there are about 15 books I have no clue what they look like so I shall enjoy a few surprises when they arrive!

 

 

The Heart Throbs #93, I believe, sells for a good amount (the pink-ish cover on top).

I also like Heart Throbs #89 -- due to the purple cover -- but doesn't sell for too much (and you may not have).

Let us know what's under those piles when they get in.

The random "Girl from UNCLE" b/c girl was in the title, I suppose?

Haha I guess? Someone must have had them in a shop or flea market b0oth or something at one time too because they all have a 2018 sticker and $5 price on the back of the backing boards. In addition, majority of them have a date stamp on the back corner (some in the same orientation parallel to the spine on the back cover, suggesting done around the same time or by the same place that sold them back in the 60s)

Yard sale season is upon us! The husband of one of my wife's old school friends was having a big yard sale, and it turns out he's a toy collector and reseller. It was about a 40 minute drive, not bad, and lots of fun. Luckily, although he's a collector, he was truly charging yard sale prices. 50 cents, a dollar, fill a bag for two bucks, stuff like that. He knew I was coming, so he'd saved a couple of boxes of Transformers for me to go through, and he let me fill a tote for $100. Super nice guy, great pleasure to talk to, we're already making plans to meet up again. Had a good time swapping estate sale stories.

What's more, he threw in some Barbie stuff for my wife, and didn't charge me for this awesome complete in box Batman Returns play tent and sleeping bag. That tent is legit hard to find. No idea what I'll do with it, but I had to bring it home.

The Transformers are a hodgepodge, several Beast Wars, Transmetals, some Armada and Cybertron, Engeron, Robots in Disguise, etc. Definitely parts missing here and there,  but for the price I don't mind, it'll just be fun to dig through and clean up.

Didn't pick up any comics. He had a few binders of books, but it was literally all Dazzler, X-Force and Cable, so nothing I was interested in.

Great morning, beautiful spring day, and a great way to kick off the yard sale season.

He had the box to the tent as well? score!   That just looks vintage

Yup, couldn't believe it. Those old play tents aren't easy to find, and I didn't even know they'd made one for Batman Returns. Pulled it out from under the table and saw it was $10 and thought heck, may as well grab it. Then he told me that the $10 included the sleeping bag, which is also minty fresh! So, not sure what I'll do with them, but happy to have them!

Flea market finds this weekend. Nothing “flat” but went home happy…

That Cape Canaveral play set brings back memories.

Yeah, me and my brother had a couple as kids. I actually went out and paid up for this one I had as a kid. Has a tin town with tin gangster cars. Also lots of gangster and cop figures with tommy guns and the like. The Untouchables water pistol I found yesterday will go well with my playset. 

I actually owned the Addams Family card game. Got it for Christmas one year. Has photos of the cast on the cards.

Small but worthy find via Marketplace today.

Dredd complete runs, plus other universe character runs, plus assorted manga.

 

You take what you can get currently in Australia, very very quiet, no-one is selling anything halfway decent - hopefully one more MCU bomb will shake the good stuff loose!

Lunch time pickup from the other day. Had to act fast. The whole lot was sold shortly afterwards.

Close-by Estate Sale this morning, advertised as a "Collector's" sale.  Entry through the garage and the first table has a couple of newer "Famous Monsters of Filmland" (which I passed on) along with some "signed" photos from the Munsters, some Dracula movie stills, etc.  Anyway, I got pretty jacked, thinking to myself, "well, this guy must have some PCH comics or even some Weird Tales or other pulps.  Unhappily, there was nothing like that - there were 4 comics all modern Marvels - but I did get this cool NASA publication from 1959, and 8 or 9 "Uncle Ben visits...." readers from 1933 along with about an inch-high stack of these Topps spoof product stickers.

Oh damn I saw this. I sent it to another guy and when he got back to me again it was deleted lol. He asked why I didn’t go after it. It was too far

I would NOT have cherry-picked this.

This has a 'how much for the whole bunch' vibe going.

Unusual day for me - second estate sale, picked up this BF Goodrich publication from 1947.  Not great condition, but I love this kind of book.

 

[Beige]

As if on que.

2 shorts of assorted for $50 all up.

A LOT of moderns - mostly Superman - but a heap of easy sell $10 variants and runs / mini sets

 

Bagged boarded and in good condition

 

Quick sort through and...

Should pretty much pay for the whole lot hopefully.
