If I were a Colts fan, I’d be all over that magazine rack.

But I’m not.

Those Vasque Sundowners are legit boots. Not sure what size, but if they’re a common size, you’ll get a decent amount for them.

Hey, Antique
any clue if these are worth messing with?
I'm just finishing cleaning out my childhood home and there were several antiques in the storage room. These are the 2 question marks.
The coat stand probably weighs 30 pounds, its cast iron.
The shade is very old but no idea where from. The poker table is solid wood with wooden legs and antique hinges. I remember it in our camp in the early 80's. My paw paw's brother was an antique dealer in NOLA from the 60's-90's. I'm pretty sure this stuff came from him.

I’m not much help here. The screen looks French.
The poker table maybe homemade (but very well made).
The tree, I’m not too sure.

What is your ebay handle? Any time I search antiquetiger I just get results for Chinese tiger sculptures.

I'm always down for comics, especially late 80s to mod 90s stuff. I know the other thread had a lot of 10, didn't know if that was something you usually try to grab.

The comics already sold.

I don’t get too many comics. Usually I only find newer stuff or ones in very poor condition.
But a few years about, I did find the first appearance of Loki (Journey into Mystery) for 25¢

That happened before all the new Marvel hype, so I really didn’t know who Loki was. I bought two 100-count comic boxes for $40, and it was in there.
The most valuable comic book I ever found was a “Thun’da” #1. I paid $5, sold for around $800.
I got it from John Ferguson’s estate sale. Apparently, besides having multiple families, he had multiple hobbies, including collecting comic books.

The empty DS game cases have a bid of $35 on them already, plus I had two offers of $40 for them (they got a bid before I could reply to the offers).

Plus, the $2 pair of Adidas shoes sold for $90 (from an offer)

SCORE! awesome.

Last year some dude had a signed Elton John, Bernie Taupin and rest of band hand signed front cover of LP album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" for $250 on Mercari. I didn't hesitate in buying it.

I sent it to PSA for authentication and it passed.

It is valued at $9,000. Scored big time.

$4 pair - Vasque & Danner boots



I would love to find a pair of Vasque Sundowner Boots before they shipped off assembly to China. The post-china boots are trash.


ETA...just found out that they only made the Sundowner in China from 2000-2015, then returned manufacturing to Italy...so, hopefully these will be Italian made.
