I used to be a huge collector. at one time I had the 4th largest collection in south Texas.

I collected toys that where recalled or 1970s and before. I had 10 G I joes I could never get a G I Jane it was very rare. And it was selling for only 2,500.00.

Why would anyone buy any toy made after 1980 and pay more than buying a used Harley Davidson? Hell you can get a rare Lisa computer for 1,000.00 dollars

or a MJ rookie card for 500.00 or a juiced up iMac notebook for 1,700.00


Hell I rather have 2,000 in weed and the other 2,000 on coke than some cheesy 1983 toy made in china,

Why buy a toy when you can get a cool shirt for 4,000?

you crack me up mouse... you're a very dedicated pathological liar but it's all in the name of comedy. haha. even if that's true i don't know why you would even want to brag about that nerd shit.

You can write to the Beckett folks they was going to do a story on my card collection before the fire. And feel free to go to the Eisenhower flea market or ask any card shop in San Antonio if they know where to get a Moss Pulsars or a David Robinson playoff game worn jersey with autograph and i bet they will give you my business card.

It's not something to toot your horn it's just the facts. I am sure Alamo50 or Kori can tell you about my huge collection it took up two 10x10 storage rooms.

But your just a mouse hater every since i made fun of your pasty white Mr Furley legs you seem to be so proud of.

Some people will as collectors. I used to have all the original Hot Wheels cars when I was young. Those are worth quite a bit now as well, to a collector. I also used to have a Schwinn Orange Crate. Those are worth a bit of money now also!

May want your kids to save their trinkets!

I have an original Macintosh 512k with a copy of Microsoft Excel 1.0, and an original Imagewriter printer. Bought them both new in 1984. Both still work. :)

Old PC software and parts never go down in price. They are like the 60s G I joes they only go up in price as they get harder to locate each year.

It's pretty common for older wealthy people trying to buy some old memories.
