That RC car might be something. I can't see what it all has or doesn't have. I used to have a grasshopper then a hornet and my 3rd and last was a Striker. I was really hard on them.. Its not a good idea to race RC cars that go 45-50 mph in the streets throughout a neighborhood. My first one got flattened by a car because I was trying to be cute.

I was driving it under a car and staying with it for a few seconds and I was about to shoot out from the side, but evidently the car sped up or I misjudge it and it got flattened before I could give it gas. Either way, the Striker I had was my last and I stopped messing with it. It was just sitting around.

A friend of mine who used to drive them as well called me, he fixed his old one up for his son, but it was a little too fast for him to handle so he wanted to get one he could be a smaller motor in it and offered me $75. The body was a little beat up and the battery was completely dead and wouldn't hold a charge..

But between that and those trains you might be able to make your profit there.

I enjoy your threads. I apparently go to some of the same sales, though I don't tend to cast as wide a net as you do. I have two main niches, which typically don't get as much attention as others and I try not to call attention to them.

I try not to buy anything for resale that won't net me at least $50 after eBay fees, shipping, PayPal fees, etc. That's excluding things that I keep personally or buy for others. That policy tends to keep me in my lane and from bringing too many things home.

found a Southern Comfort (1964-1972 wa as close as I could age it). I opened it. It tasted like shite back then as well.

I bet your garage smells like moth balls, mahogany, and old lady perfume

My average eBay auction selling price right now is about $60 an auction, with 121 sold auctions. It was as high as $80 a few weeks ago.
I don’t like to nickel and dime it either, but most of my lower end stuff ($10-$25) are things I paid $1 or less for, or stuff I bought in bulk, like the jewelry and watches.

It’s on eBay, closes in a few hours, and already up to $55, with a ton of people watching it.

BBQ place I visited last week had Coleman lanterns in the bathroom, wired with electric lights. Cool, rustic look for their theme.

I had a clock radio like that, but mine had a built in cassette player. Popped up on the top. I’d cue it up on a favorite song, and the alarm would fire it up in the morning. Desmond on Lost had a similar one in his underground bunker.

Did you go to the estate sale in Baton Rouge with all the fabric?

Just wondering if it was priced well. Lol

Probably not-it’s too easy to see what items have sold for on Ebay.
