Ten dollars is a steal
It really is. They're not even doing the garage sale until tomorrow, they just had the stuff out on the lawn to sort it out. Our friend who lives directly across the street saw it and thought it would be perfect for our game room, so she talked to them. I haven't seen what else they have yet but I'm getting up early. Apparently it was an old friend of theirs who passed that had collectibles like this and they've been sitting in their garage for years. Our friend said there were fridges and stuff like that under tarps, so I'm guessing they're old branded ones like Coke. I'm going to offer them more for the gumball machine too, it's just too cheap. They're not old and senile or anything like that, I think they're a little younger than me, definitely old enough to remember Blockbuster. I don't get why it wouldn't occur to them to list it somewhere local. Heck, we have a store called "That 80's Retro Shop" right down the street, I'm sure they would have offered way more than $10.
