So........ I'm making my weekly rounds at Garage, Yard and Estate sales yesterday and at one estate sale, I see some G scale cars. None that I need, but next to them is a motor block. Snatching it up, I notice that it has no price sticker and of course there is no way to test it.
It's Playmobil, so i know it'll run on the layout. Right next to it is a flat car and picking it up I notice that it is also a motor unit
and it's marked $6.00!!!
When I got to the checkout table, the nice lady said that since the first was "just a motor" it's about $4.00...
Who am I to argue???
So for $10.00 I bought 2 motor units worth about $50.00. As soon as I got home, I tested both and both run fine!
As a separate note: Does anyone see any Halloween things for sale next to the "Back to School" offerings?
I was walking around a thrift store, yesterday, carrying a plastic skull .
I put it back after showing my friend that; Yes, the Halloween stuff is already on the shelves.
It'll be Thanksgiving soon --- way too soon......
