There's this auction house near me that liquidates entire estates, businesses, and extra stock
from Los Angeles area companies including the movie studios.
Warner Brothers cleaned out an old closet or something and sent them a bunch of stuff including pallets of DVDs that I avoided but I scored a few cool things and am now The King of Deals:
* a lot of 26 brand new ties of Bandit from the Johnny Quest cartoon that were made exclusively for the Hanna Barbera Employee Store in 1994. They were all still their original packaging.
Got em for a buck a piece. Sold the first one on eBay today for $45.

This past weekend I bought a 1998 Cadillac Eldorado with 37,400 miles at auction for $1000. Been sitting
in a garage last 10 years after owner passed away. No body damage but will need new tires, belts & hoses
to make it roadworthy. I get that all done I'll flip it, hopefully for some extra pocket change.
