What Did You Find with a Serious "Cool Factor"?

I picked up a load from a local School. In the load was a Western Union Desk-Fax. It is a pretty cool piece. I posted it as one of my first listings on EBay. I like to find stuff that has a unique "Cool Factor".

I also picked up a large 8" hard drive.

Today I listed both as my first 2 listings on Ebay.

All of my cool finds I keep. I have posted these finds before but here goes, 7 rolls of silver dimes with 2 $50 bills wrapped around them, Westnofa Siesta chair with footstool, a 60's print of a 30's painting of Zermatt Switzerland, various pieces of gold and silver jewelry.
My latest cool pick was a working socket 3 computer that boots up and a working AT clickey keyboard.

Russell Woodard Sculptura chairs, I picked up 13 of these, kept 8 armchairs and sold these 5 for $600, I guess I don't keep all of the cool stuff but I do keep most of it.

I found this satellite decoder "Motorola VideoCipher RS II" at my father-in-laws house. He let me have it. Just over a year ago I sold it for $260.00 on Craigslist!

You might find listing electronics and computer related, if you've just started and have very little feedback, after it's sold, they'll hold your money(including postage) until the item has been shipped, received, and positive feedback has been left

Well, I got an item worthy of this thread, I think. Serial # puts this at a 1952 model.

Definitely not scrapping this one. Want to help it find a new home where it'll be loved for another 60-something years.

As a collector, the "coolest" things that I have found have all been books. the best so far are 1st editions of Madame Curie's Biography, The Wizard of Oz and The Prince and the Pauper. Also scored mint 1st edition of The Winter of Our Discontent, one of my favorite books ever.
