Austin T Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I feel that May is the unannounced Beginning of yard sale season,Anyone have any good finds at one so far this year?
moparmagiclives Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Yeah, I found a whole bunch of people to take some of my clutter..
rel14 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Love to go hunting yard sales, flea markets, swap shops,,Never know what ya my run across.
cobraman Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I don't have them and I don't go to them. Perhaps i am missing something and should consider going to a few.
route66modeler Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I always ask the person putting the yard sale on if they have any model cars. once in a while they come up with models. Steve
Eshaver Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I'm planning another one come June . Watch the Richmond Times Dispatch Newspaper for details. Ed Shaver
hotrod59f100 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Not this year but I made a good score at a yard sale one 5 original kits from the 60s between .50 and 1.00 a peice.
Nick Winter Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Hit my first yardsale and scored, got these 3 for $10 that went to charity. Bought the Vettes for the $10 and the lady gave me the Chopper, all were unopened Nick
Austin T Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Pretty cool Nick,any plans yet for the Vettes? Edited May 17, 2012 by Austin T
Nick Winter Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 None as of yet but for what I paid the LT-1 350's look good for other projects. Nick
The70judgeman Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Just got home from one and picked up a couple magazine adds mounted on heavy tag-paper. One for the '67 GTO and the other for the Hurst Dual Gate Shifter in the '67 GTO. Also a Hallmark Collector's Series '69 Hurst Olds 442 ornament(mint in box). There are tons of 1/24th die-cast Sprint cars for $4 or 2 for $7, other racing figures(NASCAR & football), and smaller die-cast NASCAR(mostly Jeff Gordon & Dale Earnhardt). The guy also recently sold his '67 GTO...missed out on that, and his Corvette's (2). No plastic kits...he included the 2 '67 GTO kits he had with the real car. I'll definately be on the hunt this summer.
old-hermit Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I love flea markets and yard sales. I picked up four assorted hemostats for a buck apiece Wednesday. They are great for holding small parts.
Eshaver Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I bought a Flouresent desk lamp with a "Bendable " overhead arm, the cost , 2.00 ! I love sales . Ed Shaver
Mercman Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I got this one many years ago for 50cents. Unbuilt in the box, missing one valve cover. Original issue.
