I learned photography on my Dad’s Argus camera just like that.

You can buy the stand and new grates on PK website. Same grille is $400 new. That aluminum lasts forever. Only downside to those is they don’t have a lot of surface area if you are cooking for a crowd.

Like someone just said, the new ones run $400. They are slightly different than the vintage ones. Grills for the new ones don’t fit the old ones. You have to “modify” the grill (cut the corners).

Best thing about these grills, the get hot, and retain the heat. They are only family size. You won’t get more than 6 steaks on it.

Finally got around to testing the MacBooks. One works, one doesn’t (or at least doesn’t power up, maybe to power source).

Hard to believe these things were $4000-$6000 each, back in the mid-90’s

I think the vintage Community Fresh O Lators are better than current day models. I have two newer ones and they seem flimsier than the vintage ones look.

That Coleman stove is going to net you some serious bucks. The demand right now is insane.

The grill is amazing - if the inside was liked with foil, keep that bad boy

I have an old Fresh O Lator that’s used every day. Glad to see other folks still using them too.

Those door lock protectors bring back memories.

Yeah, they are very 80’s! I like the price tag, it says Auto Shack (instead of Auto Zone). Radio Shack sued them back in the 80’s, made them change their name.

Well, just like that, I’ve made my money back.
The camera has a bid of $152, and the two yearbooks sold for $40.

Everything is paid for, so the rest is all profit. The Coleman stove already has a $50 bid on it

You will have to give away those Nike clubs and pay the shipping and even then you may not be able to get rid of them.

I went back to the estate sale today and found this in the storeroom of the garage.

A Harman Kardon subwoofer, speakers, and external hard drive for the iMac. They cost me $10

I know the feeling. I started out with the intention on selling, and I did a few (with some regrets). Then I started getting them running and found that I really liked that. So I guess I'm a collector now. I have about 20 lanterns, 3 stoves a couple of 502s and a 520 military stove. Now if I find something super cheap or have a few of, I'll gift them to friends.

Same.


Same here. I could make a decent amount of money if I sold some of my collection.

Even common models are going for good money, a lot of people are getting into vintage Coleman lanterns and stoves.
