Finally a decent profit: Apush

[apush]

My best garage sale find in a while: Polaroid flash bulbs. Found a double 12 pack of bulbs in original box with original tag from Ekerds [sic]. Tag had $4.95 for each set in 1984. Asked the gent how much he wanted for the box. He said, "$2.00" for the box of 12. Sold! I had no idea if they were really worth 10 cents, but it was worth the chance.
Sold on ebay for $120.00 for the lot with free shipping. Hope you can see the pic.

You just never know!

Nice job!

The last packs that I had...I could barely give them away. I wonder if the Polaroid stuff is cyclical. Seems that prices will be rock bottom at times, and sky high at other times.

Thanks for sharing!

Good job!

I've sold on ebay now two polaroid sx70's at different times I found at yard sales for a nice profit. The first one I found had a rare blue button and it went over 200 the second went for 80 or so. The old NOS polaroid accessories all sell well I see. Never thought the flash bulbs would do like they did for you. I'll need to keep an eye out for those.

Thanks!

For me, I have found that anything vintage Polaroid sells well - except for the cameras. LOL.

You scored apush. I'm ok spending time detecting and coin roll hunting but don't have the patience for garage sales.

I've found a couple sx70's and film a couple times and made a good profit but I have yet to find any flashbulbs. Good score!
