You already sell the buckle? Looked on your eBay account and didn’t see it.

I found a hidden gem in my haul yesterday. If it’s cheap enough, I buy any sterling silver I come across and stock pile it, to sell in a huge lot later.

I paid 33¢ for these sterling cuff links ($1 bag of three sets, two of which were sterling). I decided to look up the markings and come to find out, they were designed by some famous designer, Henry Larsen. A near exact pair sold for $338.

I'm interested in the Opus stuffed animal for my dad. What are you asking for it?

$20 - the chair. Store display. It’s taller than my truck


That’s either a big arse cheez-it chair or a tiny truck.

nice finds man.

I find Pop Figures and especially board games are pretty lucrative. also taxidermied bugs - those things pull a pretty penny if you can find them cheap.

Hey @theantiquetiger do you ever find vintage mechanical or even automatic wind wristwatches at garage sales ?

Every once in a while. I’m always on the look out for them. My best find was a huge bag of watches for $2. Most was junk, but there were 3 or 4 automatics. I forget the brands, but they sold for $50-$100 each.

I remember one of them, it was a Gruen.

I’m gonna list it soon. There are a couple on eBay, they are asking $80 or so. I’ll probably list it at $30. It’s from 1985, still has the hang tags, made by Danik (or something like that).

I was a huge Bloom County fan as a kid. I had every book.

The chair is over 6ft tall. The seat of the chair is probably 3ft off the ground.

I had some jackass get mad at me yesterday. I have it on FB Marketplace for $75. We agree on $65, then he wants me to meet him in La Place for the deal. I told him if he wants it, he gotta come get it. I’m not drive nearly 2 hrs for $45 profit.

Gilleys belt buckle is the only thing that I would have bought. Son just did a paper on Jerry Lee Lewis. I never knew that Jimmy Swaggart and mickey Gilley were his cousins

Yes, sir. I debated on waiting for a response, but with my luck lately some random person somewhere would have notifications on for new Opus plush toy listings lol
