I was not allowed to go to any yard sales today. My wife said none I was staying home and cleaning around the house... However I had to take my daughter to daycare. and luckily there was a yard sale about 6 miles down the road from where her daycare was. (which is not close but I had to go to one!!)

I got out and looked around and she had a Cinderella Disney castle with all the parts to it. With $20 mark on it. Then I saw this old looking Indian toy and an old G.I. Joe as well. She said they were five dollars also, each! I asked if she would do 25 for all of them and she said yes but I had to wait a minute because her daughter was looking for all of the accessories for the G.I. Joe and Indian.

I am glad I waited though. The G.I. Joe is 1974 and is in terrible condition. The Indian is marx in terrible condition as well. But all the extras are going to make it very worthwhile!!! I'm in the process of cleaning them. They must have been kept in the garage since 1974 because they are dirty but I can show you what I have clean so far. Also there is a 3rd girl doll with it but I don't know what that is yet.

There are some pieces I'm not sure yet what they are for one looks like it's part of a radar system maybe and the other one is a chest and it is full of shoes and a purse for the girl doll. But I don't think the chest goes with the girl, maybe the Indian?

Nice score man. I've been sitting on a couple figures and a load of accessories myself. In fact I have many of the same accessories you have. Lots don't seem to do real well and it will be very tedious listing accessories individually

Awesome thanks! I was wondering how they figured out on eBay what went with what. I kind of figured they were all just G.I. Joe nuts. But I will definitely check that site out thank you very much!

I went back to her house today she said she would have more. They didn't it was a waste of time I left my phone number but she didn't seem like she was going to be too interested in looking for anymore.

Then I drove down the road had almost no time left and there was a huge community sale I drove through a little bit but by the time I got to it it was almost 930 and everything is pretty picked over.
