I got a star Wars Amanaman and Death Star Gunner from a thrift store today. Paid a little over $4 for the two bags the figures were in. The Amanaman should bring $200, and the Death Star Gunner $250.

Lol at the 3 down votes. Guess some people just hate vintage/antique stuff.

I always look forward to these posts. Nice finds, especially the military stuff.

That level is interesting. I have one that belonged to my grand paw it isn't in near the shape as yours.

Hey Anitique Tiger

What can I get for these items and how do I go about selling them?

Battlestar Galactic Lunchbox

Star Wars figures. I am only missing Chewy for a complete Main character set.
Darth w/ Saber
OB1 w/ Saber w/ Saber
Luke
Princess L
Han Solo
C3PO
R2D2
Storm trooper(s) 1- white 1- Black


Also, 2 more items:

I have a pair of Black leather Bruno Magli size 10 style Edgar shoes with rubber covered leather soles that are to small for me these days. They still look really nice. Any idea on where to try sell?

I also have a 1993 Klein Rascal Mountain Bike front fork, I replaced it with a Manitou Shock. The bike was stolen many years back but I had the front fork in a storage bin with all my bike parts from early 90s when I was big into Mountain Biking. Probably will put it up on Ebay to see what happens, hopefully someone who's restoring one may want an original front fork.

Photos are way too small to tell the condition.

The SW figures will do decent, probably around $20 each (if they are true 77 figures in very nice condition)

The lunchbox, $50. You are missing the thermos.

As for the shoes, eBay is still the best place for the small time seller. You could try FB, but I don’t do well on there

As for the forks, there’s none on eBay, but I did notice a frame and forks sell for $800-$1000, so maybe $100-$200

Yes, the trays are, not sure if the tiles are. I’ve bought several of these sets over the years. They alway do well. Looks like I’m missing one tile, so I will need to find out which and buy it. The 164 tile sets do very well.

When I visited Portsmouth I took a tour of the HMS Victory guided by a retired Chief Petty Officer. He showed us a midshipman's knife something like that and said it was a Wilkinson product. Pretty old brand I guess.

They are still in business, because I recently found a set of kitchen knives made by them.

Yes, all are original 1977 . Condition is excellent for all but R2D2 (a little wear shows on the sides paper stickers AND CP30 (Hips are locked up). Better images


When selling on EBAy, do you set reserves or buy now prices?

Thank you for your advice!

It seems like it could be a fun hobby. I may have to check some out which leads my to my last question; how do you find out about when and where estates sales? I'm on the coast, in Baldwin County AL. where would be a good place for me to look to find estate sales?

Nevermind- quick Google search and found a local one for tomorrow

See anything I should check out?
