It really is. They're not even doing the garage sale until tomorrow, they just had the stuff out on the lawn to sort it out. Our friend who lives directly across the street saw it and thought it would be perfect for our game room, so she talked to them. I haven't seen what else they have yet but I'm getting up early. Apparently it was an old friend of theirs who passed that had collectibles like this and they've been sitting in their garage for years. Our friend said there were fridges and stuff like that under tarps, so I'm guessing they're old branded ones like Coke. I'm going to offer them more for the gumball machine too, it's just too cheap. They're not old and senile or anything like that, I think they're a little younger than me, definitely old enough to remember Blockbuster. I don't get why it wouldn't occur to them to list it somewhere local. Heck, we have a store called "That 80's Retro Shop" right down the street, I'm sure they would have offered way more than $10.

the only general community I could find while searching is this one, but it appears to be completely empty

!vintage@lemmy.world

kinda surprised there isn't a generic vintage type community, maybe there is one out there somewhere!

$10 apparently. Whether or not that is worth the effort of selling is up to you.

I'm sure they have sentimental/kitch value. At the very least, I'm sure a junk shop would take it off your hands.

If you're near Vancouver I'll come buy it right now lol

We're going to do gumballs, maybe with some cheap toys mixed in (after I check to see if it's a health hazard to mix them).
