Ken and I just finished in the garage. We've got two full carloads, but that also includes tables, chairs, and shade.

I'll also be attempting to sell my vintage un-punched Black Hole Cygnus and V.i.n.c.e.n.t. model kits. If those sell, I'll be a very happy camper, because they're worth quite a bit. Of course, those will be displayed with the high-end collectibles inside to keep kids away from 'em.

But, we've got probably 100 books all individually tagged, a ton of crafty things, some Disney pin sets, loads of clothes, and a bunch of miscellaneous crap. We are beat!

But, it's a helluva lot better than using up valuable sleeping time tomorrow night so we can get up at the asscrack of dawn on Saturday.

Oh, and we also uncovered a potential small gold mine - in one of Ken's storage boxes were literally over 200 vintage Boy Scout patches and pins from the 60's and 70's, given to him by his great aunt. We're cataloging them next week, and those are going on eBay. Some of them are worth $35-$50 each.

Someone has already stopped by the house (today at 9AM) to check and see what kind of dolls we'd be selling.....I have 2 boxed Collectible Barbies. We have a buyer for dolls....anyone bringing dolls?

Due to stuff that came up*, and the fact that we have not had time to really pull stuff together and price it, we will not be able to make it. We had been trying, but we had not committed.

But I am curious about one thing. I had inherited a large collection of dog figurines (enough to fill an entire curio cabinet). Any idea on how to start finding values on something like this? They are mostly porcelain, but also glass and metal.

* Have to get new tires installed on Saturday and we have to take one of the chameleons into the vet on Saturday for a growth on his leg.

How are people pricing Disney pins? I have mine broken down like this:
Regular $1
Limited Edition $2
Sets $5

I'm also selling figurines and S&P shakers for $5.

Disney T's are $2

Sound about right?

I'm not going to be pricing pins since there are way too many. I will let people pick what they want, bag them up and price the lot.

My stickers have the price then my initials under the price:

$5
LC

Also, I'm not g

If there are Disney collectors coming to the sale, my guess is you could double the asking price on the pins (except sets) and they're still getting a steal. Besides, that leaves room for negotiation if they ask for a "bulk" deal.

Hmmm. This happens with Twitter all of the time, but I usually have better control over the "post reply" function here.

Of course, I don't remember what I was going to say. Something profound, I'm sure.

I was guessing something like "Also, I'm not going..."
