The Awesome, it's Rad!

Here are a few of my more recent finds. I pick things up that interest me, are unusual or i have a feeling they may be worth a few bucks. I guess it's a smaller scale of "American Pickers" but I've been doing this for about 12 years on eBay.
This is a 1979 Rub a Dub Doggie. They were quite popular, you can make him shake the wate off of his head with a knob on his collar. He came with a bone shaped sponge originally.



This is a few salt and pepper shakers I found. I usually spend all summer searching yard sales for cheap pairs (like .25) and then sell them as a lot on eBay. They are fun..oh yeah, i have a pair of Salmon S&P's in the car.. I need to get organised.










This 1971 Charlie Tuna "Sorry Charlie" Scale. SOLD Has already been shipped off to Japan. I found it in a barn sale, on a shelf and behind some rusty crap. It didn't work but I bought it for $1 and sold it for about $40 if I remember correctly. It is super cute...













Awesome Stuff Issue ONE!




Hello, I am Carole, finder of awesome. I find awesome things at yard sales, estate sales, thrift stores.. wherever. I do collect some of it, but I sell the majority of it. To me it is the thrill of finding things and looking through boxes that have not been looked through in years. I also like to help people find childhood toys, books and memory type things. I help find not so collectable things as well like baby clothes or household items. I find everything from dishes to dolls to squished pennies!
 








I will be updating this page at least weekly with photos and brief descriptions of the awesome things I find.. If interested in anything let me know or look me up on eBay..
