Toys From Your Childhood!





While walking around the DI, I noticed this little guy.  I remembered him from my childhood.  I think he was one of my first toys.  His name is Teddy Ruxpin bear.  I didn't know anything else about him other than he was from the 80's.  I picked him up for $1.00 and put him on Ebay that night with a $40.00 buy it now.  It sold within 3 hours (leaving me thinking I could have asked more).  That was 40x the money I paid.  Not bad if you ask me!

The bird is a Furreal Squawkers bird that had been discontinued.  I had to make a phone call to my husband to ask whether or not I should buy them.  They were both $1.00 and I sold them for $26.00.  People... do your homework and learn what is selling, it pays off.  Also, if you come across something that you are unsure of, make a phone call and find out before you buy it.  This is a great way to make quick and easy money... not to mention that it's quite a rush to find the treasures!
