Goodwill Dyson DC25:

With outrageous prices like this, it's a good thing I had a 20% off coupon! :D Why was it at Goodwill? Probably because the filter that mounts inside the ball came loose and caused it to not roll smoothly. I popped it back into place and it works great!

Favorite find? 1941 Epiphone archtop 16" bout (forget the model) $10. Still have it. It is my grab piece should the house burn.

LOTS of other stuff. Most all my tools etc are second hand. I like the challenge.

Oh, man! I used to own a 55 Nomad that color. Changed it to emerald green.

Great score, porsche930dude. :)

That no. 14 Matra (Solido) is one of the first 1/43rd scale diecasts I ever bought... sometime in the 80's. And it started me on the (non-serious) fun of collecting diecasts of street and racing sports cars. I only buy what I like... without regard to longterm value.

Got a Ferrari 512 about the same time. I think they were about $8-12 each.

What a great group of cars!

Found this today, it's from Riviera motors inc. don't know much about it , but it sure is interesting. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1388640401.jpg

No pics, but I just picked up the following last Saturday at an estate sale.

Vintage underdash 3-guage aux. chrome mount with (2) green face Stewart Warner guages and all wiring (volt and water temp) $5.00

Working lighted "Goodyear Tires for Jeep" advertising sign--with the old AMC logo. $35.00

Another plexigalss "Goodyear Double Eagle Tires" sign--$10.00

and I should have grabbed the dual-four barrel intake that I had my hands on--I couldn't find any mfg marks other than the firing order and had no idea what it was from--put it back and when I changed my mind and went back to the garage to get it, someone else had already purchased it...:o

Hose reel? Looks awesome though!

picked up this old wood burner today for my daughter.

Meh, looks old. You probably don't really want or need it. I'm weird, but I collect that old Junk, I'll give you 8.99 for it.

;)

:D

Very cool!

someone gave me 4 of these today.. 38" x 7' complete with shelves/dividers... always good when it's free!

Just got this off of GL auctions. Made in 1989 and never used! New today it sells for over $2k, I paid $280 with shipping and taxes. Now I can adjust the brake proportioning valve on my Unimog, or any other car!

^ Nice score, especially for someone who can really put it to use!

(Did you clock all those screws or is that the way you got it?)

That is just the way it came! Never even noticed that before. Must have been made by a German!:D

Deleted the pics, but I scored a Dyson DC14 by the curb last week! The U Pipe at the bottom of the handle was plugged with a small marker and pine needles! Cleaned that out, cleaned up the canister and sold it for $100!

friend works tag the salvation army. it's depressing how many books get donated and then just tossed.

she called my in last saturday though. found a box of 40s vintage army air corp flight manuals, 50's vintage pan am stuff and pre state hood aeronautical charts.

Picked these up from a neighbor tonight. $300 for the pair. The acoustic/electric bass is pretty cool.
