Went to a moving sale (the elderly couple moved to an upscale senior housing complex). They had friends hold the sale for them. I piled up a bunch of stuff and when I asked the price for all of it (nothing was marked), I was told $3. I got a box full of vintage postcards & souvenir booklets, 2 vintage beach towels, Fenton glassware, a baggy full of men's tie tacks which I forgot to photograph, a ceramic stamp moistener and a vintage Clara Peller Where's the Beef? dish towel.
Other buys:
$2 Jewelry Box
$2 Speak & Spell (collectible - ebay)
$1 Vintage Fisher Price Airplane - ebay
.50 Schlitz Beer tap from 1970 - ebay
.50 Spongebob VHS
$1 20-in-1 tool
.50 Julie and Julia paperback
.50 vintage Ziggy
.05 War button
A few people have asked what my ebay ID is (yardsalequeen.com) but I also put a link over there to the left. I'm currently taking an ebay break, but I should be back selling in a few weeks.
$2 Speed Limit sign (I didn't ask where the seller got it.)
$1 pool bug skimmer
$1 pogo stick
.50 stilts

I really like the jewelry box. How have I never heard of a super pickle?? lol
I have my Super Pickle too - and the Super Pickle Book. I alos have Super Banana, but he never did it for me like Super Pickle. ;o)
I think I have my Super Banana clip somewhere, but I agree Shara, he was no Super Pickle.
And I did sell a pop-up SP book a while ago on ebay, it was a thrift buy and I prefer the plushie over the book so I didn't feel any attachment over the book.
Nice finds. My Mom has our Speak and Spell, Speak and Read AND Speak and Math in her basement. I wonder if I could get anything for them.
Pretty jewelry box. I love the 'Where's the Beef' handtowel!!
Zakary - your mom is a smart woman to save all that stuff :) yes, the old Speak & Spells sell - ballpark figure around $30 each if all the keys work properly.
I did sell my Michael Jackson Thriller album for $21
Great fun finds...especially love the jewelry box!
