Great finds.

How many approximate g-sales do you hit a week? I hit like 1 and I get so frustrated for having to drive/park etc I give up... I have all the intentions though, I say to myself every year "this is going to be the big garage saling year"

 

[Robb]

As many as I can find in my area on Saturdays !

The Toshiba RT-200 is bl**dy beautiful.
This was the first stereo (other than car stereos) I had seen with an Auto Reverse deck in my childhood. I had the paper ad cutting with me for some time.

Wow, it's like some kid never even played with the dump truck. Vinyl is always nice too.

I know crazy !
I had these in 1985 or so and it was beaten in 1 week !

Love the Tonka dump truck!
I think most 30-Somethings had one as kid. I used to ride mine down the front walk by sitting in the dump body. It was a very versatile toy. Most of them looked pretty rough after spending a summer in the sandbox, though.

You must have dozens of TVs by now Robb....it's about time you got some sturdy shelves and displayed them all together as it would look really cool
