- You can find alot of stuff in "Toy Shop". It's sort of a newspaper format
- magazine that nearly entirely consists of want ads and sale ads. It may
- be available at a newsstand or at a comic shop. Another place to look is
- in the classified ads in some of the other toy magazines. The best place
- to look seems to be at toy shows or sci-fi conventions and maybe comic
- comventions, there you can look at the stuff before you buy.
-
- A great place is yard sales, I have found quite a bit, but you have to
- deal with getting up early on Sat. and hitting as many as possible.
- No doubt that these will be the best deals around, but you will have
- to also deal with the fact that this is just a gamble and that you may NEVER
- find anything at a yard sale. Check out used stores like Goodwill or Salvation
- Army, you may find stuff there also. Ask around school, I bet you'll find
- somebody who is tight on cash and is willing to bring his stuff up for you
- to see. I got a TIE Bomber that way 8-).
-
- You have to do alot of homework on this stuff or you will probably be suckered
- into a bad deal or two. Take my word for it, it happens all the time.
