It isn't complete. I have almost a complete Rolling Thunder which was my absolute favorite. I believe I am only missing a few missiles and a side door. I wanted to sell all of my GI Joe but everybody was dicking me around with very low offers
Even incomplete the parts are still valuable. You can either put your stuff on ebay or find a GI Joe Collectors Facebook Group page that allows for sales and post it on there.
Where were you trying to sell?

Honda CR 125. I thought Marty Smith as a GOD when I was a kid...he died just recently, by the way, in a dune buggy crash.
I had a Hodaka Wombat that weighed about 6 tons and required 23 hours of mechanicing to ride an hour....I saved about $600 at one point toward the $995 price at my local honda dealership but I bought a boat instead and that decision has proven to lead to a bunch of similarly bad decisions made in the last 46 years....

We had a go kart with no motor. We had to push it. Way to go mom and dad.
Been there, done that. We did have a dirt bike we could tow it behind though with a rope....fun as hell.
Also had a go cart for years with no brakes. Manual start and you had to be out of it to start it....I'd normally pick the back end up and put it on a block, start it with the back tire SCREAMING and rock back and forth until the block turned over and away we'd go. Got tired of that though so I would just try to jump in while it was really getting going....usually successful, sometimes I'd get dragged a couple of hundred yards before I would give up and let it stop against whatever got in its way...which is how I ALWAYS stopped it...thinking back on it don't think it had a throttle either....best I remember when it crunk it was wide open and moving....if it did have a throttle I had probably tied it wide open to get it start. That thing was a TERROR....

Yea it makes total sense that both my parents were robbed and murdered to death when I was 7 years old. Life is fine now though, I was left a huge estate and a multinational company.

NO shite!!! I had a knock-off from sears...we were sears people if JC Penny didn't have it....I wore toughskin jeans that you could not fold nor hang, you just stood them up and they would stay that way until you put 'em on and tried to walk in in 'em,...they had double knees for some damned reason...the first layer of denim was already about 3/8s of an inch thick. I have had dogs knock me off a bike and break teeth off trying to bite through those pants...a bicycle chain would snap like a spiders wed when it would jump the sprocket and grab a pants leg....I bet those damned pants are still somewhere causing all manner of misery and mischief....

Had that as a kid. It was my dad’s subscription but my brother and I knew where he hid them and raided his stash on the reg. We eventually had our own little stash under a stump out in the woods.
Damn skippy! When you couldn't find your dads you could walk down any highway in Atlanta and eventually find a skin mag....I have no idea who was riding about the highways in Atlanta planting Hustler and Penthouse magazines by tossing them out the window but they were a 9 years best friend EVER.
My 80 year old dad gave my son his old playboy collection when he was about 14....boy had no idea what to do with them...the internet has ruined a lot of shite LOL...

My whole GI Joe collection. I had a few other vehicles and the base as well. For some reason cannot find my hovercraft. I tried on Facebook but people didn't even want to give me a $100 for everything I had. Piece by piece is was much more than that.

My mother refused to sign the papers to let me play football or to box, and with no dad to lobby, I never did either in any organized program. My friends and I did both in very unsafe ways in the street, so it would have been better if she had let me play.
