Title: Local store
Post by: collecture on December 20, 2008, 09:53:14 pm
Went out today with the family and I always stop by this guys store in town here when we are out that direction.
He knows what things are worth and always top dollar, but it is always fun to look as he always has some nice stuff.

Had a real nice DP light-up clock (Stewart?? I think?) - marked $485, but would sell for $425
What do you guys think of it? I know it is high, but I like it!
Xmas gift for Dad?
$425 way too High?

RC Cola Cleveland Spinner - $1800

Tom,
If that artifact at quarter til 8 is just camera flash, I'd say 425 is fair. Nice clock!!

P.S. Here is something I found very funny :-)

The face is in very nice shape Creighton, so it is a flash.
The second hand seemed to get hung up every 5-10 seconds though and then continue - is that a sign of bad things to come or an easy fix?
Not too savvy on clocks - need input!

The "hang" may just be the way it is geared. A good cleaning is most likely in order, and then it should be fine.

Funny Creighton,
My wife and I used to love the "Special Xmas" channel on our XM DirecTV satellite music channel, but since Sirius merged with XM it no longer exist - we're bummed a little because it was fun to listen to during the holidays with it's parody music and Demento stuff. That was one of the songs it used to play - I've never seen the video though.

On DirecTV?? We don't have a satellite radio subscription.
All the music channels are in the 800's on DTV.

I wish they had a store around here like that. It would be fun just to look.
