As a rule I hate to buy things at thrift stores to re-sell on the internet,
I usually don't get a great return on things I buy for that purpose, but over the next few weeks I'll share a few exceptions I've made, and you can watch with me as the items become valuable, or not...
This week I was at the thrift store and I came across a very niche toy,
This is Flippy
He's called that for obvious reasons
It's a toy from a show called "Happy Tree Friends" (I can't recommend the show) as far as I understand, flippy is one of the least disturbing charactures,
anyway, I do have friends who enjoy the show, and knowing of it's relative obsucrity, I was shocked to find this toy in mint condition for a paltry 69 cents, a check on the interweb shows a recent eBay sale of an identical item:
$52! even including shipping, that would sure be nice, so lets all watch together with bated breath at my very similar auction:

Results next week!
Wish me luck, and if you or your friends are into the show, feel free to bid on it!
Interesting note, Flippy is actually considered the *most* disturbing character, which is why he was popular enough to get a stuffed version made.
ReplyDeleteI could explain why he is called that, but discussing this show at all is not family friendly in the slightest.
I do hope the auction goes well though. I'll keep watching it. ^_^
Touche' actuially, I should have been more acurate, he's the least disturbing to look at
ReplyDeleteSadly my father bidded on this item and lost he had it for only a few seconds :( I'm still searching tho and I hope another shows up somewhere somehow ^^
