Chiefsplanet Hobby Shop-Collectors-Buy-Sell-Trade

[Iowanian]

This thread is dedicated to those who collect things, buy-sell-trade or want to know what something is worth.

If you've got an item, someone here knows about it or may want to own it.
Insert a photo, comment about what you have or ask your question and see what you get.

If you have an item to buy-sell or trade with other planet members...do so at your own risk and level of trust.

Do you collect pocket knives, old toys, antiques............teach me.
My suggestion is that any transaction results in a small donation to the planet.

A company has recently started making them again but they aren't what I want. They aren't common but you can find them. I have bought some on eBay but scout guys are like jeep nerds and they bring more than they should usually.

If you ever see decent ones at an auction buy them.. Rougher ones bring 20-40 and ones still in box can bring 200-300 depending on what they are. I wouldn't give that much but they bring it to collectors.


I do also like barn trolleys and old lanterns.


I wouldn't be looking to sell these, they're for me. Same with star line pulleys. I do trade a lot of pulleys and build things out of them and would be interested if anyone has some. If you see decent pulleys of any kind at auctions buy all of them under $10. The loudens and Meyers are worth less than star line. I like the Meyers better than louden.

If you are at auctions you can always use eBay to browse but keep in mind the listed prices are too high and a lot have been restored. Same with scouts.

I'd listen to any autographs anyone has that they might want to rid themselves of.

And a holy **** moment, prior to opening any interesting cars I Google the number and see what they are worth just in case.

There are several batmobiles in there, different colors, and one looked really different. Had no wing.

Sold it to the hobby shop guy here in town today for 575 bucks and I'm pretty sure he got a good/ great deal.

Someone's Asking 850 obo. On e bay.


But I do quite a bit with this guy and goodwill with a horse trader is worth tons

Are those 4 inch figures? I was totally into the larger figures from the 70's. Had all the sets. Very easy to gift when I was a kid.

I went in with a buddy on about 700 beer tap handles a couple years ago.
Split them with him. So probably 350.

Im building a shelf around my pool room like in a bar to sit your beers on and I'm gonna mount the cool ones every couple of feet, just drill through the shelf and bolt them to it.

Sounds good. I got into lighted beer signs but after a few hundred bucks invested, I cooled it. Like the outdoor scenes best.

Yep. the 3 & 3/4 inch versions. I do have 2 of the 12inch versions, the Navy and Army football players.

Yeah I was on the same roll a couple of years ago. I have several lighted beer signs out in the man cave and my favorite is the Hamm's Scene-o-Rama. I got mine for $350 which I had a hard time justifying at the time and now they are bringing $950 to $1800 on EBay. Three years before that you could skip rocks off them for $200 a pop. In hindsight I should have bought about 100 of them 10 years ago and sat on them, a guy could have made a killing.
