You gotta get out early, and get into people garages and ask ask ask !
The JVC M70 was way back in the garage, not even for sale.
I asked if they would sell it, they said they used it alot when working inside the garage.
Initially they wanted $20, I offered $15.
I always look for the older houses because more than likely, they will have vintage !
New houses suck for garage sales because they are younger people.

Went to an old furniture store today . Closed down after 60 years. I like picking through junk. The guy gave me this 1979 plate for free because I was born in march 1979. Also got a 1992 consumers distributing catalog for free, worth $50 minimum. Im going to return next week because its too jammed in the back. Hes got all kinds of vintage automotive stuff!!

Went to as estate sale today... prices were very high (near retail) on most things ! I did manage to find a couple toy cars for 25 cents each - Corgi Oldsmobile Toronado, 1974 Matchbox Laing Crane.
Also picked up a box of free records, nothing special though.

 

[Fatdog]

Free records! You're killing us, Robb.

OMG! I had "The Story of Star Wars" as a kid! If Mom and Dad were in a good mood, they'd let me listen to it on their Zenith all-in-one system in the dining room.
Had you not posted the pic, I never would have remembered that.
