The Chinese bone figurines kind of look like netsuke. How tall are they?


I not sure. Ive already sold them to a regular customer for next to nothing. I just looked up “netsuke”. The could be this. Looks like $10-$40 a piece

What area did you hit today?


This morning, I hit Parkview Oaks (I thinks that’s what’s it called). They had a neighborhood wide garage sale, about 15 sales.
I had to bring my daughter to Covington for 10am, so I hit a neighbor wide sale the around 11am (Covington Country Club).
It was way late, didn’t find much other than the LaLaLoopsy

I'd love to put a Beatles record on while I walk on my treadmill in a southern U track suit.

I’m just curious why you bought the SU track suit for $10?


I will tell you why…

18 years ago, I was on my honeymoon in Vegas, playing Texas Hold’em at the Monte Carlo. We were shooting the shite, talking about where we were from, etc.
I said BR, and some young lady (African American) said Southern is a great university (it is the largest AA university in the country). She said she would love to have a track suit from there.
She was from California and knew about Southern.

Until today, I’d never seen a Southern track suit, so I bought it because of some random lady in Vegas, 18 years ago

I could understand doing this to make a living but doing this crap for fun is strange. And your wife is either really gross or insanely nice or both. If I brought half of this nasty stuff home I’d be sleeping on the couch.

How much specifically just for the GIJoe toys? That's a damn impressive find!

I see a few, but wouldn't know if they're good or not. I know the brand names, but also know they put out budget versions of their line.

Most of the stuff you buy would be cheaper at Goodwill or a charity-type thrift store.

I see guitars quite often but they are never any good. People that have good quality guitars, know what they have, and are not going to sell them at a garage sale.
I recently saw a Fender acoustic A-10 (or something like that). They were asking $50 for it. They are only $100 brand new

I don’t sell here.
I just now got around to looking at them. I didn’t realize there’s 40 of them in there, only 6 need new o-rings.

These should bring around $200, from what I see

Damn, Clutch is missing a thumb. Those were often the first parts to break.

Is that Sgt. Slaughter?
