Now that's what i call a yard sale.  The person selling that stuff obviously has great taste!

That is a fabulous haul.  The owner was obviously a collector, so it seems odd he would sell his stuff in a yard sale.  That's a cool Bog Monster head on the left.  What is that 6" or 8" Frankenstein standing in front of the green/purple card right between the big "motionette" Bride and Frankie?

That is a candy dispenser from about 4 years ago. They also made a Dracula. They were also sold in Canada, The same company also later issued ANOTHER Frankenstein candy dispenser which bears a preety decent resemblance to Glenn Strange. Andy Williams has one. He should take pics. Get on that! Andy.

 Clearly, someone liked Frankenstein.   :D

Great finds!  Wish I could come across a treasure trove like this!

Yeah, that candy dispenser is pretty cool, I have never seen it before today.. The collector was a woman who said she has been collecting for many years and simply ran out of room in her house. She told me she was just happy these items were going to be added to another collection. There is another Frank I have never seen , it is to the left of the candy dispenser, it has a small tag dated 1998 play by play.

The last yard sale my wife & I went to (a few weeks ago), she scored a purse and I scored nothing.  Two days later, the purse straps broke.  Yours sounded like a dream yard sale.  Kudos!

UNKNOWN PRIMATE: never buy a purse at a yard sale with a secret "stash" of change. The cost of $1 lottery ticket would be even better! who cares about straps??   :-X
Title: Re: YARD SALE SCORE!
Post by: Punkrockbillyjack13 on June 18, 2009, 09:54:52 PM
Yeah I was pretty shocked when I walked up and saw everything she was selling! Just a simple yard sale ad on Craigs list...
