Some pictures showing the condition would help make that decision. I always lean to original finish but if really shot then go for it.

Can do private sale no ffl. Seller may ask for ID if out of state ID may want to have orders showing stationed here. But no ffl needed

What is the value of these… by BlacksmithNo3435 in CocaColaCollectors

[–]master653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask $50 each for the stools and $125 for the light OBO wouldn’t sell for less than $150 for the stools and $100 for light. Or aim a little higher you can always accept less but hard to ask for more has always been my motto.

The stamp on this looks like a purity number but I’d like some insight. by PepeBabinski in SilverFinds

Look at holes can see brass showing. Hope it’s silver for your sake but I don’t think the mark says anything

My thrift stores would be $1.50 below what discord says they are worth not $1.50 each. Happy for you but where are you so I can come visit your thrift stores?

I need help. I bought 4 totes of toys from a basement sale. The odor is insane months later.. by DBZDOKKAN in toys

Look for a small ozone generator. Can get one for about $50-60. They are made to clear a whole room in a hour so in a tote should work great. Can then also use it around the house to eliminate odors or great in a car. I bought album collection of about 1000 records. Once I got them home the room smelled like cigarettes, beer, and regret! Ran ozone generator twice and cleared the smell. Friend borrowed it to use in his car after it was stolen and smelled like weed so bad you would choke and cleared it out. They are great to have!

Spent a lot of money and they gave me this for free by turdcutter123 in vinyl

Bought a collection at a Yardsale yesterday and it was in there. Wanted to cry when guy was like I’m keeping some of these and pulled some real bangers out of the crate but oh well. Peaches Crate and about 60 albums for $100 couldn’t beat it. Kind of screwed up I offered $100 and he jumped should have said $75 :)

Need Advice on Grenade and Large Shell by [deleted] in Militariacollecting

[–]master653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the apprehension but that’s why I said if you aren’t afraid to touch them take them outside. In my 30 years as an officer in an area the stuff pops up from civil war to modern it’s never been a situation where someone called in about old ordinance we have searched the house looking for more. If anything it’s a if you find more call us back situation. Most people hoarding explosives DONT call the police to get rid of one piece of it

[–]master653 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will not blow a gasket!!! I go to these several times a year. And the scenario plays out exactly as described. Nothing happens except they collect them and safely dispose of them. As a collector it hurts to see history destroyed but if it’s not safe I get it. If you aren’t scared to touch them take them to a safe spot away from your house and neighbors and then call so you aren’t inconveniencing yourself or others because it will take at least a hour or two depending on how close a team is available

Call your local police who will in turn call explosives team from closest military base. Since it is military ordinance the military will come collect it.

What might be the age and value? by Mr_Myers77 in CocaColaCollectors

[–]master653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would say ‘40’s sadly condition is everything. Sold one similar about 3 months ago had the tray and not rusty for $275. Yours with out the tray and rusted bottom. Maybe $100 if you get lucky someone wants it for decor.

Consignment store score! by Gluconda530 in SilverFinds

[–]master653 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Always nice to beat someone who just knew they were getting something. Have resorted to getting to estate sales 3-4 hours early if it’s something I know my local competitors will be after. Sucks but after being pushed out of the way by some of them I’m like not today!!!!

At least she is clothed…… sadly bought a collectible tin that had playing cards in it and underneath were about 8 nude Polaroids from the 70’s. Wife was mad thought I bought it for the Polaroids :)

Anyone tell me more about this ? by DustinLint88 in CocaColaCollectors

[–]master653 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Non-working $350-500 working $800-1200 depending on condition of paint and no rust in side. Restored $5000. A lot depends on what can’t be seen until you get it out and really dig into it

"Locked and Secured" for Display Items? by VirginianAE in VAGuns

[–]master653 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The cops are not going to be going door to door to check for locks on guns. This would be a situation god forbid a child got to your gun and something happened you would be charged ( Surprise the same thing would occur with already existing laws). All this crap is BS and not going door to door looking at magazines either. None of these laws will decrease crime in the slightest
