Best Op shop/antique store tf find

[Darthprimus]

This find isn't a transformers find but still brilliant, I refused to pay a friends price for a TMNT technodrome. A week went by and it got the better of me so I rang him and asked about it. He told me that he sold it on eBay for around $300 which was more than he had asked me for anyhow. So I let it go and tried to forget about it , got home from work that very Sunday and my fabulous wife had purchased me one for $10 from local Sunday market . However it was missing the large eyeball which sat on top. So I was happy but dissapointed about the eye. Next day we went for lunch and after went next door to a op shop. My wife yells out from back of store my name. I turn and see her holding up a gleaming technodrome eye. She dug threw a old box of childrens blocks and rubber duckie to see it at the bottom of box. So as you could imagine I was a very happy fellow . The end

what an amazing story, what are the odds off that happening! i picked up throttlebot rollbar from a recycling centre bout a year ago for $6, and he had a junker cup that he wanted $12 for,and i thought stuff that, my complete cup cost that off the bay. also i saw a g1 hot spot, but he'd probably want a rediculous amount for that as well.

I have this weird feeling that this pretty good op shop down the road has some kind of TF. My mind is telling me some sort of extremely small yellow car (IDK, a micromaster ) and Shockwave...

check it out. it'll only take 5 mins and you might find some real gems there. my wife late last year or earlier this year went to our local op shop and got about six full bags of TF's for $60 which included complete headmasters and targetmasters. i ended up giving about 70% away to other local collectors and fellow otca members.

That's pretty cool dude. I might check it out. We did find 3 or 4 Rahkshi Bionicles (near complete and in container) for like 5 bucks each a while ago at Vinnies Newport

As the saying goes, you'll never know if you never go

I've been to Parramatta fairs without finding much, and other times some great stuff. Same as Dapto markets, I found a plastic bags worth of G1 transformers for 10 bucks. Was a great score. Complete scourge, mostly there roadbuster with parts, and a bunch others that I can't remember.
