I spent $375 (yes, $375!!!).

$25 - PK grill
My neighbor wants it


$120 - old Barbies & Ken


$20 - Lone Ranger


$5 - Barbie stuff


$5 - bag of GI Joes


$200 - Andy Warhol sterling jewelry


Major gamble on the jewelry. There are none sold on eBay, and one for sale, asking $500.

I use to know all the GI Joes, but it’s been a while

Very interesting, that Andy Warhol jewelry. I had to look it up. I might still buy some of it from you though, once you list it on your eBay page. Nice finds on the Barbies too!

The only GI Joe I see worth any decent money is the snake eyes on the top right. He has his thumbs, but is far from complete. Hard to tell if it's the 1982 version or the 1985. Put an o-ring in him and if he's in decent shape you'll make youroney back.

They all need new o rings. I’ve repaired many. I forget what size, do you remember?

Not 82. Some later generation because of the swivel arms (and because it still has thumbs).

They had one 1964 Joe, but was over priced due to damage. They were asking $50

You probably know you need to be very careful if you try to clean any of the clothes up.

Those Barbies are Barbie Bubblecuts, 1961 - 1967.

They have slightly zombied in the face. I know how to fix that. I won’t touch the clothes. I’ll leave that up to the experts.

My neighbor freaked out. I didn’t tell him what I got him. I just dropped it in his driveway, and told him to go look outside. He said he is going to give me $50, even though I told him $25. The stand is $80, or $125 for the rolling cart.
He said this PK is an original from the 60’s.

Original Ken dolls didn’t have hair like newer ones. Their hair was molded.

The joe with the orange flak jacket originally came with a German shepherd. Together, they were named “law and order.”

Cobra HISS tank commander on the right. He’s worthless without the tank.
