    lol...Ya'll are to much. Jord..I'm starting to think your crazier then I am.



    No worries Brandon, I was able to absorb the lost revenue..lol. Toys are worth some good change on resale. From action figures to hotwheels, if in at lest decent condition. People pay crazy prices for the darnedest things.

    I am glad you were able to absorb the losses. lol
    I did some dabbling in toys at one point.
    When I lived in Jersey I went to my local goodwill on almost a daily basis, I was able to pick up some nice toys that I was able to flip for a good profit.
    Whole shopping cart full of 1989 ERTL force one airplanes still on the blisterpacks for $2-$3 each, sold them on evilbay, flea markets and yard/estate sales, probly made 15-20 times what I paid for them. Also got a 15 piece Voltron space vehicle set still in the package with instruction manual for $8 and sold that for $100 on craigslist.

    The only thing hasn't already been covered is those front corners on trailers worth saving from scrap, they're always needing those to fix damaged ones ; )

    now, back to toys haha ; ) about ten years ago I was browsing through Goodwill and found a whole store display of old (real) balsawood airplanes, the whole display from cheapies to bigger rubberband powered ones. I got one or two of each and later got to thinking dayum! shoulda bought the whole bunch, but they were all already gone : (
