    Again I almost didn't go thrift store hunting today because Wed is 1/2 price day & it gets crazy!

    But boy am I glad I did! I found a rare 1979 Frank Sinatra music box that was given to VIP's at his Dec 1979 40th year in show business show at Caesars - when you wind it & pull the pin it plays Sinatra's "My Way"!

    I found one that sold at Sanders auctions for $3,000 & 1 that sold on Live Auctioneers for $2,500 + a final one that sold on ebay for $475!

    Cool, huh?

    PS - listing it on ebay I realized it's the 40th anniversary of Sintra's 40th anniversary in show biz! (1979 - 2019) :)

    I came across an online dealer selling one for "only" $1750.
    What a find!

    Well I accepted a $600 offer today - partly because the nose had a paint chip & partly because a $585 profit in 2 days is all right with me; buyer is happy and I am happy - it's a win-win. :)
    thanks all

    Sometimes a quick flip is better than waiting months for someone to come along.
