Yeah, what I got this week wasn't exciting enough to merit its own post-- 8841
Desert Racer in box w/ instructions (missing a few pieces but the universal
joint was there) for $1.00 and a misc. bucket of over 500 mostly small elts
(with lots of brown, tan and gray pieces) for $3.00. Neither of these had
marked prices, I just made offers and they were accepted.
BTW Fred, great finds! Out of curiosity were those prices the asking prices?
Did you try to bargain them down at all? I would have tried, but for those
sets even I, cheapskate that I am, would have shelled out the bucks!
