Got out to a few sales over the weekend. First time in about a month or so. Didn't find much but I managed a few small dollar items that will do okay. Here's the pics-

17 laser discs. a Dell laptop computer bag. Got this lot at a Jewish sidewalk sale on Sunday. Also picked up a "Space Models" British Airways Concorde desk display model there too, that was the best score of the weekend actually-

Also included in that photo is 3 of the 4 primary colors Pyrex mixing bowls. $5. I have the large yellow one that is missing as well as another complete set in storage.

Also a beta sigma phi nu phi mu Sorority pin, a "Little Cross and Crown System" pin. A sterling/abalone Bear, a beat up Taxco sterling bracelet, a small sterling Taxco ring, a tiny sterling necklace, several Disney pins, a medallic art co. bronze medal from 1947 that commemorates 1/3 of a century of progress for IBM. A "Kill Hitler" bullet keychain (a sniper elite v2 pre order promo item), a risque "snatch a match" matchbook, a rhinestone spider brooch and a "famoustone" jade cross necklace (Haven't tested to see if real Jade or not, will update shortly)-

An early 1900's sterling Connemara marble shamrock pin and a small 14k NFBPWC pin.

As well as a Lorus Mickey Mouse "Gold Coin" watch (putting in a new battery momentarily), and a vintage ladies Bulova, 10k rold gold plate, working.

Spent total of $37 on everything pictured.

Thanks for looking.
 

Nice finds! Love the Concorde desk display piece.
 

Do you have a laser disc player?,I haven't seen one of those in years.
 

Are the laser discs sealed? I actually have that exact Star Wars laserdisc sealed from a prior year's pick. Never got around to selling it. Now I'm gonna have to look it up and see if I can move it.

No I don't, but it looks like they sell for good money. I actually didn't have a clue if they were even worth anything but I figured at around .50 a piece if they weren't, I'd just sell them at my next (soon to be) yardsale. :thumbsup:

Thanks, I have another smaller one, it's unmarked though. Figure i'll sell the two as a pair.

They aren't sealed but they are in minty condition. Looks they they were opened, played once and never used again. It looks as if none of the titles I have is over $15 or so tops. I'll list them in 2 lots since 7 or 8 of them are Karaoke discs including a few Japanese ones. I don't wanna mess with listing them as singles, not worth it to me. If I get get $3 a piece for the lot, i'll be happy.
 

Oh yeah, the Mickey Mouse watch works fine and the jade cross tested as jadite on my Presidium.
 

Love the marble/silver pin. Do you sell on eBay? If so PM me when you list it. Great haul.
 

Late last week, I bought a yellow bowl that is missing in your set.
