Free hats!

 

It was a really good haul this week. A guy had sooooooo much comic book stuff that he was giving away for free because he didn't want to take it back inside.

 

We accidentally ended up at an estate sale for a dead friend. That was kind of dark.

 

We saw a yard setting up a bunch of chairs and we were wondering what that was about. Turns out, it's a Burner Peace Love & Ice Cream yearly party where they play music and have about 70 of their friends over. We didn't know the people there, but they knew of MakePeace Manor.

 

Spanker Drive is a funny name for a street.

BACKSTORY: Got up around 6:35AM, made it out driving by 7:39 AM and went out until 1:28, and then again from 2:07 to 2:36 for a total of ~6 hours. Spent $143.15 plus ~$5.53 gas for 64.3 miles of driving (25.8 mpg @ $2.22/G), for a total cost of $148.68. We drove to 65 yard sales, stopping at 39 (60%) of them. We made 115 purchases (150 items) for a total estimated value of $1,400.57, leading to a profit/savings of $245.74. So in essence, we multiplied our $148.68 investment by 9.58. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $1,400.57 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $1,228.72 in cash that we saved. How long does $ of disposable income take to earn, vs the 6 hrs we spent here?). Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $245.74/hr as a couple or $122.87/hr per person.

lugofett88: I bought the set 3 days ago and there were only 2 left at my target, just like you the one I really wanted was ms marvel and shes a great figure only drawback is no calf articulation, I hate that hasbros been doing that to there new figures, radioactive man is decent and cap is decent but cap has no wrist swivel

 

lugofett88: For 50$ for 3 figures is pretty good considering there 21.99 each and that radioactive man is necessary for anyone trying to make the masters of evil

 

gurriapu: You wouldn't believer the endurance of those ears. If after almost 20 years of putting up with my ranting they haven't fall of yet they'll definitely will last forever lol @nadinemnemoi

 

renerecato: It's a steal at $50 for 3 ML. I'm glad they decided to do ms. Marvel on that Moonstone buck. Radioactive man is a must have. And this cap with unmasked head is a nice mix of classic and ultimate cap.

 

fayegb: I thought this was the bootleg toy post you told me to check out! Hahahaha

 

doctornvrmore: @fayegb No I never posted it. Lol. These are legit. Forgot to post.

 

syko_ninja47: Yes! Love these figs! Best money i spent on Legends in a long time!

 

theartgd: @doctornvrmore Definitely a good deal. Even if Ms Marvel was packed individually, she would just get scooped up by scalpers and flipped for $50/ea. Just like Black Widow Legends... And she is still difficult to find on pegs 😡

doctornvrmore: @ignoblin @gurriapu The figure comes with 4 guns. Lol

 

ignoblin: Ah too cool for school... I wouldn't know, we don't get these... What do you call them.... Exclusives?! Bah Humbug!

 

doctornvrmore: @ignoblin you and @gurriapu wouldn't like him...

 

ignoblin: Yeah you're likely right... I'd rather buy the hundreds of Capt Americas on our shelves and pretend they're cooler toys!

 

doctornvrmore: @ignoblin All you need is some paint! Captain America becomes Captain Canada!

 

ignoblin: I want toys, not a new project... Be Captain tie dye by the time I'm done 😂✌️

 

doctornvrmore: @ignoblin That would be a great companion for #LoggerTodd
