I ain't goin to no fair to get shot and stabbed at

Went to 4 places today.

Quincy:
Nothing, nada, zero, zilch.

Harrison:
Got some glasses, I particularly like the Captain Morgan's stein and the Lite 1-liter glass Stein


Got a Luchow's Auf Der Alm stein in poor condition.
This is what it should look like:

This is what it currently looks like:

Poor thing. Paint faded, pewter lid gone, a few chips. People just don't take care of things. It's ok though, I am the savior for everyones unwanted items.

A Playstation controller:


Salvation Army (Hanover):
I rarely go here, its just away from everything else and there isn't many great finds. It's a good place for clothes and furniture, both of which I don't really need. They had a a stack of Cds today that looked like some emo kid donated. Saves the Day, The Movie Life, Poison the Well, Thrice, all those late 90s bands I despised ( expect for old Poison the Well, they were good). I did however break down and get a Keepsake CD, they were an good band I don't care what anyone says:


Brockton Amvets:

Some good finds, best stop of the day!

A horde of Genesis Games; The Lion King, Mortal Kombat, Eternal Champions, X-Men, Cool Spot and Ecco the Dolphin:


Blades of Steel for Nintendo, along with a controller:



A Playstation; which I wouldn't have gotten if not for the 2 dollar price tag:


This neat pile of skulls candle, it was just too awesome to pass up:


Every year Bailey's puts out a limited edition cream and sugar pourers. They usually fetch about 10 dollars a piece. Unfortunately this 1997 sugar bowl has a teeny chip on it:


This 1-liter glass Michelob stein will go good with the Lite one I got earlier in the day:


This is my second vintage Lacoste cardigan, these things are so comfortable:


And the find of the day:

A 1968 Mickey Mouse gum ball machine. They usually get around $20 for em.
