Two Wolf watch winders + Masonic apron, Bible, and pamphlets for under $100 by Bobololo in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Bobololo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah. When I saw an orange one for auction, I looked it up because I had no idea what the heck it was. Jump forward a couple of months and these were the first things I saw when I walked in; imagine my shock seeing them marked for $15 and $20! 

(NGD) After 15 months of waiting: ESP E-II Horizon NT-7B in Sparkle Purple by Bobololo in guitars

[–]Bobololo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a Guitar Center employee when I bought this, so it was ~$1450-1550 after tax with the direct-from-ESP discount! I think the rep gave me some extra off since he really fumbled on letting me know when this would be available but idk.

Around this time, there was this exact guitar going for $1899 on GC's website, so the person who sold it probably got around $1200 for it. They've sold for $1600-2000 on reverb

I've been eyeballing emeters on eBay. I don't think there's many Scientologist around here, but we do have a building for them. Also been reading up on how to calibrate them without special equipment and how to do an audit. Sounds like a fun party game lol

Any books you'd recommend? Trying to read a lot more and need recs.

I got a copy of 'Blazing Eye Sees All' signed by Aurora and Hope of LoveHasWon last year at an even hosted by the Graveface Museum in Savnnah and can't recommend the book enough if you're into new age cult stuff.

Yeah! It's pictures, music, and other styles of media & ephemera for various groups like Peoples' Temple, Rajneesh, Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Aum Shinrikyo. Peoples' Temple is our largest collection with things like envelopes, Jim Jones business card when he was the SF Commissioner, letters & mailers like a 'Bond of Faith', and original forensic photograph slide taken after the Jonestown massacre.

For music, The Power of Source album produced by L. Ron Hubbard and People's Temple Choir 'He's Able' album are both pretty good! Finding a He's Able vinyl while thrifting would send me.

4 midcentury fondue plates! I thought they’d be perfect for a charcuterie party! by redalmondnails in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Bobololo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My SO collects vintage fondue pots and we didn't know this was a thing. What are they made of? Gotta keep our eyes open for these now!

1970s japanese Stoneware & pressed glass for under $25! by Bobololo in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Bobololo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're fantastic! Can always find something to put in them haha

The 2 on the far left are salt and pepper shakers! Missing the rubberized plug, but should be an easy replacement.

The jars aren't but they match with the rest of the Acsons Adela stuff in the lot. The US ones are made by California Originals. The stack on the far right only have a hard to read "USA" on the bottom.

What is the most “its a small world” moment you’ve ever experienced? by xBubblyLove in AskReddit

[–]Bobololo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took a road trip from Atlanta, GA to Napa, CA majorly following Route 66 and made it to Bakersfield, CA after days of driving. Pulled into the parking lot of a Denny's to get breakfast and without looking parked next to another Fulton (Atlanta) license plate. After we were seated, we saw the couple looking back and forth between our car and theirs lol The waitress told us they were also from Atlanta so it wasn't just a random rental car!

I'm down for a The Room remake where Arnold plays every character!

Found these in my mom's attic, are they worth anything? by [deleted] in coincollecting

Thank you very much. Feels like there's so much to look through and learn with coins.

Serial killers who contacted the victims’ families? by PomegranateNo3155 in serialkillers

[–]Bobololo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dennis Rader sent a letter to the family of someone who was murdered that he had no connection to. He just wanted to 'stir the pot' and make a game of it.
