I was looking up the Garage Sales on Craigslist. And, I stumbled upon a listing that seemed too good to be true. This guy was selling all these collectables, old Vinyl, Video Games, Action Figures, you name it, he had it.
I figured I had to go there as soon as he opened at 8:00am. It was a Thursday morning, and I had to take my daughter to Summer School. I’ll drop her off and head on over. It was about an hour away from where her school was, but what else would i do that morning.
Off I was, I had my little daughter in tow, and I had to keep her from dozing off as we rode out to Frankfort. When we finally got there, I looked around and nothing seemed to be the same as what was shown in the pictures. Still, I looked around.
What was displayed at the Sale was mostly junk. The 80’s metal records from the listing were actually those old worthless records that no one wants. I had seen some Motley Crue records on the listing. Where were those?
And then I turned to a bookshelf and saw the good stuff. I was like, ok this is what I was looking for. I grabbed an 18″ inch NECA Willy Wonka figure. Price tag was $5.00. And as soon as I was about to say, “I’ll take this” He said, “That’s not for sale, man”
I looked at him.
“But, you got a price on it.”
“That’s what I paid for it, at a garage sale.”
