New Goodwill find...Toy Story edition. $$$

[jasonluckydog]

I heard the sound of a bell, new merchandise is being moved to the middle of the store. I was in the jean section looking for Evisu, True Religion jeans etc when that sweet bell started going ring a ding -ding..I passed 2 old women and a small child frantically racing to the cart of possible goodies not yet molested by the public. I got there (out of breath) first, I found this green jolly guy staring at me

 

The original 1996 TREX

 

 

I would take $125 for it.

This is one on Ebay not mine $295.00

Are you hitting the Goodwill on 176?

You should make a thread on what to look for at Goodwills. Maybe teach a class.

I love these threads because I find this stuff interesting. I also like shows like American Pickers. It's cool that you have an eye for stuff like this. If I bought that T REX I would have thrown it out back as a dog toy.

I'm with Mr. Rockets on that one. I go to Goodwill and I don't see where anything has a huge resale value. I do know that if you hit the Goodwill near an affluent neighborhood, the stuff will be better than the Goodwill by the ghetto.

Are people actually paying that much for it or is that just what people are asking?

Oh man I had that toy when I was a kid.  Mines pretty beat up though.

The key is going often..  Guys are terrible at moving stuff and looking for items, I'm not. I found a plastic container with a box in front of it on the bottom shelf filled with 80's Star Wars toys.

I learned that toys from popular movies are always a grab the hard part now is parting with Rex he cracks me up... I have a desk filled with high end toys. Star Wars toys from the 80's, original transformers from the 80's. GI JOE'S all found at Goodwill.

The Goodwill I go to is near a decent middle to upper neighborhood but that store has high sales so items are shipped to them from all over the low country from those donation centers. I know the pricing manager at my Goodwill but he wont hook me or notify me when cool stuff comes in he is by the book.

That is a rare toy so its hard to price

The one on 17A is not as nice.

Nice jerseys are a dime a dozen in the ghetto though. I've gotten quality stitched versions of classic jerseys.

I agree I barely stop by there anymore, I found a couple of jerseys from there and a weird statue that is signed and numbered to 10 but have no idea who the hell it is.
