I know for sure me and about 4 other friends in the neighborhood all had that same sleeping bag. Those were the tits back in the day.

Great find! I'm interested in buying the 1948 LSU/NC glass, the Canon camera, the Coleman Latern, and the steak knives. Swaggar9119@outlook.com

Silver plated is not worth it. $10 is a good price

are you saying those were Billy's skates? if someone told you that they are might misinformed because white skates are womens skates. mens skates are black. I guess it is possible ol billy had a little sugar in his tank though.

I’m guessing his wife’s (or daughter, if he had one). The skates are a high dollar brand and looks like never used.

I had that sleeping bag as a kid.



I also kept it under my bed through puberty. Almost like a giant sock, if you will.

Of course he had a daughter, Bunnie. A big LSU guy should know that. She was all over the meida when Burrow got the heisman, I believe she was even at the ceremony.

Heads up on the MK purse. The stitching looks wrong on it so it could be a fake.


No way billy cannon would have a counterfeit bag...

I get the costume jewelry thing (you never know)

I guess what I don't get is buying old used obsolete digital cameras and similar. Even if you can flip them for a few bucks, isn't that a tedious waste of time for a low return?

To be clear, I know it's not all for the $, but flipping an obsolete junk camera for next to nothing seems much less fun than researching which Disney cake pans have value on the secondary market and trying to get 15 bucks for a 1 dollar item

Are you going to come back and let us know when they sell for $25?

You're biggest potentials are the purses.

Who the hell would by a propane lantern? you can by a $5 mini led lantern from academy that will last longer with a couple double A's, and it'll be 5 times smaller.

I could see being able to sell the ink for $20 a box, and the books for $5-7 each. I doubt any kid cares that they have a 1st edition Dogman book over a not 1st edition Dogman book.


And i'd bet money you'd recognize my wife, as she is also a doofus that goes estate saleing just about every thursday.

Ever find any of the old radioactive red Fiestaware? That stuff is pretty collectible for some people.

I spent 200 today and got two grocery bags full of vintage and modern Star Wars and GI Joes.

Some of the modern Star Wars figures are really rare exclusives. I got an easy $1500 with the stuff I bought if I don't decide to keep it.

They are vintage Riedell Silver Star 355 skates with Sheffield blades. They have the old logo on the sole, not side of the heel.

Knives are very collectible and valuable. These were $1, so I grabbed them. If not valuable, someone will take them for free
