Found some minty records today for $2.00 each.
Nothing special, but they are mint !

 

[Accumulator]

Gee, hope *those* weren't from an Estate Sale! Some of those would be great to hear on vinyl.

 

[Robb.]

They were stacking some vinyl this morning at Value village..Right place, right time.
Picked up 4 mint LPs.. I passed on rolling stones sticky fingers (zipper cover), AC/DC Livewire bootleg, and a Led zeppelin - song remains the same, they werent up to my standards for condition.
Some record buyer I see there came and bought them all though..

 

[Accumulator]

Sounds like you're good and particular about what albums do/don't pass muster condition-wise.

Greatest find at ANY garage sale: HP T1000 Uninterruptible Power Supply. Paid only $20 and it's normally $500 or better.

Robb, I would do research on a couple of those Hot Wheels you got for free. The two green ones and the red one with the bubble top. Judging from the wheels I would say they may be from the '70s or early '80s. When did Mattel change the style of the wheels?

Yup.
Cover and record have to be NM or else I wont buy it, unless it is a high valued or rare album I find for $1.00.

Here's a vintage 1986 Tonka Clutch Poppers Porsche 38.Highly desireable toy when they came out and difficult to find now. I found it at a thrift store for $3.00
The way it works is you press down, roll forward and then press button ontop.
Made in Japan

Huh, I was gonna quip about " '86 being vintage" but considering the rarity (and in working order too!) that *is* a neat thing.

And, heh heh, no surprise that your kitchen is nice and clean

Keep your eye out for a vintage Mr Microphone.

Found a couple no name cassettes and maxell at a thrift store today.

Also bought a rare, near mint, 1981 Realistic SCR-4 boombox

Robb.-Is there a market for the boomboxes, one with enough headroom for you to make a decent profit on them? You seem to pick up a *lot* of those!
