Do you collect anything?
I have 9 Citizen watches.
I collected two sets of Batman Trading Cards as a child.
What have you collected?
Comic Books (i prefer Marvel)
Fossils...i have a bunch
Guns (rifles and shotguns only...no pistol license-NY is a pain in the ass)
Antiques (Farm/tool/'Americana' stuff mostly)
Vinyl Records (any genre really)
Knives and hatchets
Fishing gear...old or new i want it
Tools (i keep buying them...cant stop)
Archery tackle (im an awful archer...i just love the bow stuff and i probably own too much by now)
Im thinking of getting into American signs soon...Coke, old Neon stuff, Carnival posters, anything a bit dusty and with good graphic art really...
I like Neon signs, and Art Deco furniture.
shareNeon stuff is expensive but i really want one in the garage...its just such a great look (diner, liquor store, gas station...anything authentic and aged really)
Do you have any?
Art Deco style is very cool and i love the 'Mod' 60s stuff too
I was trying to do my music room Mod/60s style...got the couch and chairs, a geometric patterned rug but cannot find the right end tables
I was thinking chrome with glass tops but they are a fortune on line...
Is Art Deco worth anything? I have some bedroom furniture in storage right now.
shareCraigslist is your spot
Art Deco is hot right now
Lovely furniture and decor
Just invite a buddy over for the sale...some Craigslist meet-ups have gone very badly...VERY badly:(
Not joking
Thanks for the tip. I've been meaning to post them on craigslist, but haven't gotten around to it.
I've done a few transactions on craigslist. Safety protocols are a must when dealing with strangers.
Craigslist is quite useful....but please be careful Padeen
The worst time I got ripped off on Craigslist was by a cute young Asian girl selling baby rabbits across the hudson River in Hyde Park...i'm a big bunny rabbit fan, they are just the cutest:)
She assured me that both were females as i
did NOT want babies...
So i learned two things here...baby bunnies are ridiculously adorable and EVERYBODY on Craigslist is a big lying jerk
I donated hundreds of dollars to adopt out the baby bunnies
Dumb move on my part but it worked out i guess
I've done dozens of transactions on craigslist selling baseball tickets and only had one bad experience. Met a guy at a Barnes and Noble and everything seemed to go fine, so I go in to browse books. He comes storming in claiming he over payed me. I assure him he didn't and he leaves. Next he's waiting for me outside and starts ranting about how he needs the money for the game hes taking a family member too. I stand my ground, raise my voice and tell him how I don't appreciate the allegations since I agreed to drive a good distance too meet him. To this day I'm not sure if he was trying to screw me or if he misplaced his money. I also always carry pepper spray and thankfully never had to use it.
shareGlad to hear it didnt get out of hand with the guy
shareI have about 50 baseball hats which I have collected over the years.
shareHow good you are with the B.O.W?
shareB O W?
I dont know what that means... Im pretty lousy with my bows tbh
Like, 'not hit the barn' lousy
B.O.W. = Bio-Organic Weapon, a reference to Resident Evil.
shareOf course lol...
I should have known!
Back to regular bows, I do like archery. I'm right handed but can only shoot left handed.
shareI love archery...but i am painfully bad at it
My sister routinely whooped my ass growing up and my kids are both better than me:/
Weird about the right/left thing...i have never heard of that before
