  • EXPLORING THE REALITY OF THE AMERICAN YARD SALE EXPERIENCE
    Another weekend means that I once again embark on a hunt into the unknown looking for vintage toys and other pop culture collectibles. Some days you walk into one yard sale or garage sale and find something beyond your wildest dreams. Other times, you explore 20 different sales and barely scrape together a decent haul reflective of your time. Most days, however, are like this! Yard sale / garage sale ride along!

    Nothing is more uncomfortable then walking up to a yardsale, having some fun interaction with the person running it, then upon looking at what is for sale know within 10 seconds there is nothing there for you and having to do the awkward "welp, thanks! have a good day" and getting out of there as quick as possible. I always feel bad.

    Vids like these are my favorites and here is why:
    For a european guy watching these religiously I dont necessarily watch any videos for any specific toy or score but more for the scene itself. The shots of peoples neat driveways and different setups of stands the chatter and the cozy porches etc basicly everything is gold for me. The outdoor sales are my favs for sure! Reminds me of my childhood watching movies dreaming about living large in the States hah - please keep these type of videos Froggy the whole vibe is what I am here for ! Many greetings from Denmark

  • @emeraldgamecave679
    @emeraldgamecave679 Před 23 dny +3

    The thrill of the hunt is the only thing that truly matters. Yes, it's great to find top shelf pieces, but that's not going to happen every time. Plus, like you said, it forces you to become creative and look down other avenues.
    Kids today truly are missing out on the fun activities we had in the 80's and 90's. Going to eat at pizza hut then a stop at blockbuster on the way home was the greatest thing ever.
    Thanks for the upload Anthony and keep up the great work 👍

    Gosh, you're right, I'd probably take my kids to a retro style pizza place, complete with arcade machines and soda in a pitcher super gladly. Now that I'm the same age as an old person I get nostalgia so hard. That smell of the pizza cooking and the loud beeps of the x-men/simpsons/turtles game in the corner where a couple of kids were being just a little too loud, I miss it.

Nostalgia overload and I miss it!

    We have some great Pizza King's in Lafayette! Especially the one on 18th and Veteran's. Still has that old experience we had as kids. You order through a little speaker with a button, a train brings the drinks around through a tunnel in the wall that goes back to the kitchen, and you can watch TV in your own little private booths using a Quarter every 15 minutes. We still love it!

  • @saintsataniko2116
    @saintsataniko2116 Před 23 dny +1

    I don't mind the somewhat more mundane hunts at yard sales. Part of the enjoyment is just seeing what people have, your interactions with people, and just wandering around outside (vicariously, of course). My favorite item would be this 15:00 Rocketeer puzzle just because of the art. Creator Dave Stevens' work is really hot right now (albeit mostly his good girl art), and although I don't think he designed that, it's still a cool illustration. Definitely worth a buck.

  • @CaseyCampbe
    @CaseyCampbe Před 22 dny

    Yard sales and estate sales were my childhood. Going with my grandparents, and getting 5 bucks for the day to spend on what I wanted. When the 5 bucks was gone, that was it, and I found some good stuff always. These vids bring me back and make me miss those days. I can smell the garages and the old stuff for sale, and the Midwest grass and humidity. Love it all.

    The game was a nice score. Never heard of it before. Love the pitcher. Definitely worthwhile nostalgia.

    I don’t collect toys or anything but I do love to watch your video. I’m here for the content, regardless if you find something or nothing

    Also a huge Prince fan, saw him in concert and probably the most amazing show ever.
