One of my favorite memories when I was a very little kid in the 70's was the Funny Faces drink and those cups.Those brought back memories.

34:12 Two Guys Sale Sticker on this goofy toy. Two Guys was a BIG department store in New Jersey , before Toys R Us was the BIG toy store across the nation (pre-1972 or so). If ya lived in New Jersey and your parents went Christmas shopping for toys in the late 1960s - good chance it was at Two Guys. MANY of my vintage toys I bought on eBay and shows had this MASSIVE sticker on it!! Pain in the ass to remove by the way !!

Two Guys was already on its way out by the 70’s. There was one over on RT. 35 in Middletown

That chocks chewable vitamin jar sent me right back to being a kid in 60s/70s. Fun watch!

[@SzLaurie]

Me too!!

[@RobinKay75]

I have never seen a plush Woodsy Owl. So cool! Also, that 60's plastic pumpkin is awesome!

Vegas was a good TV show back in the 70's and the toy Thunderbird looked cool.👍

[@maverickflint1991]

Awes video and hope you guys had an awesome time looking at all the stuff there 👍

[@maverickflint1991]

Hello. A lot of cool toys and games there. Some of the toys I remember but are before my time the stuff before 1971.

19:32 Not a HORRIBLE price on a Beatles doll w/ a box! However - Ringo and Paul are super common because they are the ones the girls loved most . George and John are much harder to locate - but they are not rare.

I have that pillsbury dough boy doll sits on my stove lol😂

[@LannieLord]

35:31 . Old dog biscuits box. At $7.50 - I'd buy this !! People who BREED DOGS collect this kinda stuff. And as for the question: "Who saved this?" 1) lots of stuff saved by "Grandma and Grandpa" gets used to the back of a closet -- for 5 decades . Then they pass away . Then the Kids or grandkids INHERIT the home -- find it and are all "OMG look how old this is" and they hang on to it. They they go ; oh - LOL- just sell it at the Tag Sale this weekend. Then the dealer finds it. ALSO : sometimes people will keep LETTERS and BILLS in a box like that , put it aside- and forget it. So there ya go !

37:59 In the mid-1960s The Munsters and The Addams Family created a CRAZE of silly goofy monsters . As Marvel comics were building up a grand and iconic history circa 1965-1970 -- D.C. comics was like the kid who was into Motley Crue and KISS when his slightly older smarter friends were into Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[@LannieLord]

1:26 $75.00 for a drive in speaker is INSANE - they are pretty common and can be had for $20.00 to $40.00 (and $40.00 will get a nice one!) .

Love antique stores. Ever know what you will find ❤❤❤❤

[@LannieLord]

19:07 OK, so the is the Antique Mall of Stupid Prices ? Yeah, I guess : $349.00 on the Wolfman Mix n' Mold is HILARIOUS ; Have you ever seen what's INSIDE ? LOL. 2 wooden popsicle sticks , a small paper bag of plaster , 2 molds that are made of what Starbucks uses for their coffee cup lids (super cheap disposable white plastic) and I think a few cheap watercolor paints . The MAIN issue is ; what you MAKE looks like total crap. NO DETAILS. Almost hard to figure out what it is . LOL.

[@maverickflint1991]

If you ever go back to the 2nd thrift store at 38:41 there is the Van Halen green plastic mug for $20.00 let me know because I would like it if you could buy it for me and we could figure out how to get the cash and shipping to you.😊👍 Thanks.

[@LannieLord]

4:20 I am sick and tired of people OVER VALUING Halloween stuff: $60.00 for this is NUTS. And the handle is missing. I hate shopping at "antique malls" because I am a re-seller . EVERY single price is "on the nose". And I am tired of re-sellers going in and pretending they're gonna strike GOLD. You CAN find "mistakes" in prices.... but they are FEW and far between.

[@LannieLord]

28:25 That is called a "day bill" or a "hand bill". The movie companies made them so you someone could stand on the street and hand them out when the movie came to your theatre . $10.00 is not a bad price for this at all.

It’s fun while u can find Halloween items as well BONUS 😂❤

[@unicorn063]

Antique stores can be very haunted for many reasons ❤❤❤❤

[@LannieLord]

4:47 $25.00 for this "generic" ice cream carton is a JOKE. In the early 1980s - tons and tons of these local ice cream brands packaging were found in a warehouse . And then they all hit the "antique" market. They are common as heck and .. don't really look good. You have all probably seen those empty figural "outer space man" glass syrup jars in different flavors .... that people LOVE to over-charge for. HUGE find of them. You can't give them away.

[@maverickflint1991]

You guys be safe and careful.😊👍🙏

[@unicorn063]

He’s got some great stuff there

[@maverickflint1991]

Mr. Merlin lunch box for $65.00 good price if it has the thermos.😊

[@mczilla8628]

I remember Mr Merlin i think that was a 70s show

[@LannieLord]

37:52 I'd buy this !!!!!

[@unicorn063]

Amazing look at those punk clown from carnival time Wow

[@maverickflint1991]

At 38:41 how much did they want for the E.T. talking figure? 😊

[@samanthab1923]

Cute places. How were the prices?

[@LannieLord]

GO to the COLUMBUS NJ FLEA MARKET !!!!!! Sundays !!!!!!
