View Full Version : I LOVE MY WIFE!! (a garage sale story)
Marty 10-07-2006, 08:21 PM While I was at the Ed "Big Daddy" Roth Memorial Car Show in Indiana my wife was with her Mother at an auction. They went to one of her Mothers friends house also because they were having a garage sale. My WONDERFUL Wife spotted two boxes and asked how much. Before I tell you how much here are some pictures of what was in the boxes:
TYCO US-1 Trucking track and TYCO regular track

They added a guide pin to make it a slot truck. I'll try it and see how it worked.

mtyoder 10-07-2006, 08:46 PM I see guitars in the back! Rock n Roll!
micyou03 10-07-2006, 09:34 PM Great haul. I was out all day today tag saleing and junk diving an found nothing.
The thing that is really frustrating me is that when I was doing HO exclusively I was finding 1/43rd stuff everywhere. Now that I am doing HO and 1/43rd, I can't find either.
