    Default Craigslist Haul

    I found these advertised on Craigslist as "70 style light up Christmas decorations". The ad mentioned that they had these but you had to ask for them. Of course I didn't see the ad until after the garage sale. I emailed the woman and setup a time to check them out. I was very suprised to see that many of them have their original boxes and are in mint shape. The big Santa face was never used outside and looks brand new. The two choir kids look new too. The soldiers are the old style hard plastic but are in great shape. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the sleigh which needs new runners. What you can't see in the boxes without graphics are another reindeer, a camel, and a bunch of extension cords. I forgot to mention that 2 of the candles ARE brand new and still have the hardware tucked inside in a bag. It's hard to believe that this stuff is still out there waiting for us to find them.
    BTW, I received some funny looks going down the road with the big snowman hanging out in the back of my truck. :giggle:
    It also took me two hours to arrange my garage (Again) so that every mold has a place and my wife's van still has it's place in the garage.

    Sorry for the grainy pictures. All I had on me was my cell phone.

    lol I know what you mean about funny looks.I was able to snag a truck and a trailer full a couple of months ago.Their comments were funnier than their looks though.

    Totally cool haul Dude!! Really like the Noel candles. Cool you have a truck. I'd have to make a few trips with my car to get all that home. But I would enjoy the drive. LOL Really cool you've scored never used items. Guess those runners are easy to damage. I picked up a Santa and sleigh just like that a few weeks back with damaged runners as well.
