kman223 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Went out to a family who was selling some SpongeBob, and Ferrari sets. Once there they mentioned that they had a few more things they had found. Her mother was a collector, and just shoved stuff in random spots when she was done. Needless to say once I got it all home and went through it I was pleasantly surprised. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcandre Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 A freaking Grand Carousel? Give up the price already, we need to know how much to hate you 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 The GC alone makes that entire purchase worth it (unless you paid $10K). Would love to know how much you bought it for.Is the GC still sealed?I have to tell you, as much as GC goes for, if I found one like that, I'd be opening that bad boy up immediately. That's my dream set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migration Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Mr. Andre put it best. I hate you. My bulk lot GC came mixed in with 180 pounds of mixed bricks and is missing the baseplate and only has two sails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo2112 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Outstanding. Looks like 4x on your money, at a minimum. That's an A+ Craigslist find, by any measure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
