    Nice! I found a cymbal once but it had a chunk missing from it and the other smaller one had a crack. Good luck selling them and what an awesome full load you got!

    Oh what a lovely setting, I would probably be keeping the chairs for myself lol. Thats the trouble with scrapping, finding so many nice ''keepsies'' and running out of room to put them.

    An Atari 2600 in original box?! Dang! If the box was in nice condition that alone could bring in 20-40 dollars depending on the condition.

    Do you curb shop the same spots everyday or do you have an area large enough to go all over?
