Vintage Green Tiger Bank made in Japan - paid $1.00. Sold for nada (That's 0 dollars American).
1983 Universal Pictures Rocky III Thunderlips figure (eat your vitamins and say your prayers, it's actually Hulk Hogan) - paid $1.00. Sold for $0. A guy did contact me and wants to buy it for $8.
1999 Hasbro Pokemon Jumbo Pikachu Plush - paid $1.00. Sold for (see: next sentence). I worried about this one because it had 6 watchers and no bids with 12 hours left, so I pulled the auction. After I ended it early, a guy messaged me wondering if I was going to relist it. I told him maybe and he said he lived just down the road from me and wondered if we could meet and him buy it for $20. I agreed.
Now just imagine you're driving down the road and you see a beat up Nissan Altima and a trashed Saturn parked all alone in an empty lot (ok, "parked all alone in an empty lot" is redundant but I'm trying to paint a vivid picture here). Two grown men are there exchanging Jacksons (ok, 1 Jackson) for a jumbo stuffed toy. I would think something from a Far Side cartoon was going down. I digress. Back to our regularly scheduled FMF.
1992 Applause Stego Plush - paid $1.00. Sold for .99 cents. Very disappointed but some grandma from MN was very happy.
Talisman: The Magical Quest Board Game - paid $5.00 divided by a suitcase full of junk. Sold for $26.00
1968-71 Frito Lay Premiums 'W.C. Fields' and 'Frito Bandito' pencil toppers - paid about a nickel apiece. Sold for a total of $76.64 (cue Hallelujah Chorus). Remember these are PENCIL ERASERS!!!! No bigger than a quarter. The Blue Frito Bandito sold by itself for $46.00! This is the stuff that makes flippin' so much fun.
Thanks for looking!
