No lie, this is the sold price, not asking price

You interested in buying some limited edition beanie babies? I got half of them from my divorce proceedings when our community property was partitioned.

Do you ever run across old coral skeletons?


I couldn’t say because it’s something I don’t look at/for. I’ve seen a ton of aquariums that have a ton of stuff in them, but I couldn’t say if there was coral or not

You give me $25, I’ll take them off your hands.

Those were the biggest ripoff ever made. People were dumping life savings on that crap.

Take them to a dog park and pass them out for the dogs to chew on.

I laugh at people like you that doesn’t see value in stuff, especially old toys.

Y’all just keep having garage sales with the toys from your childhood. I’ll be there first thing

Interesting find....old baseball/basketball cards would be a nice find!



A couple years ago my buddy found a garage sale that had boxes and boxes of baseball/football cards of the 60's and 70's. He gave the lady $1000 and got almost every star player(including rookie cards) from those decades.

I’ve never seen or done that with sports cards, but I’ve done it a couple times with comic books. I bought a huge lot of comics for $40, had a couple rare ones, and I’ve bought a bunch for $5 each at an estate sale, it had some very rare/old ones
