<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9407615, member: 10944"]Don’t forget to check those intriguing trash piles folks. I was driving around my neighborhood one night last week on trash day looking for an empty flatscreen television box to ship some artwork in. A house that I noticed was for sale previously had a massive pile outside their home. Nothing looked good from the car but I decided to get out. Right on top of the pile was an ultra rare rock band tshirt from the late 70’s.There was a cool piece of 70s luggage. Can’t recall what else but there was a huge bag of clothes. Looked and it was all ladies didn’t look exciting but decided to take it home in case there were more band shirts. No more but tons and tons of clean very, very 80’s design stuff that will sell. I never did find the box so I went out looking again last night. Same house lots more stuff. First I see mostly paperbacks. Then a box of 1960’s blow mold Halloween decorations.Then a basically brand new NFL jersey. 70’s TWA carry on bag. Two more huge bags of clothes. Reach in and find an Elton John 80’s tour shirt. Gucci scarf. Another Elton John 80’s tour shirt. 80’s cartoon twin sheet sets as crisp and bright as when new. Super rare Star Wars beach towel from 80’s. Took the bags home and found 8 Elton John tour tees from mid 70’s - 80’s. A mid 80’s Prince tour shirt mint condition basically. Plus at least 50 mostly very clean and sharp 70s/80s tshirts. A bunch with cool local interest. If I had the space I would have taken every bag and box home to make sure I didn’t miss anything but alas some had to stay. Both times everything had clearly already been gone through by at least one other party. I can’t believe the stuff they left behind. I can only imagine what they took that I never got to see. If that was the chaff just imagine the wheat.</p><p><br /></p><p>After is all pieced out it should easily be over 1k. It was a mega vintage score. I almost want to go knock on the door and ask if I can look at what else they are getting rid of but that would probably be creepy.
