Great stuff, thanks for sharing. That seems pretty low for a color wheel. They used to go for more money I thought. For $2 you still did good though. Too bad you didn't find the aluminum Christmas tree to go with it.
Question, since I'm not a motorcycle enthusiast, how do you know what type of bike the seats will fit? Are they marked or are they more or less interchangeable?

They were both marked on the bottom along with the ANSI certification.

Nice finds ... thanks for sharing! ANY Pokemon game is worth a buck or two ... most are easy sells for 15 to 30 bucks.

Easy to store, sell and ship. My kind of money!

Yes, Pokemon games are just like finding cash. The cool thing about that one - it was in a box for Rabbids 3D. I've had several copies of both Heartgold and Soulsilver. The only ones that aren't that good are the Mystery Dungeon and Ranger games.

Congrats! I am insanely jealous yet filled with admiration.

Thanks! These are my better finds from recent trips. I do a lot of buy for 10, sell for 30 stuff too - I'm not going to post those even though they are money makers. The homeruns are what keep me going. :)
