I got a scanner so I could listen to the sobriety stops they do outside my house all the time. They snag folks right out of the bar parking lot near my house... turns out very little radio chatter goes on in our city. It wasn't worth having on most of the time.

You COULD send that mostly unused scanner to someone in Maine so she could hook it up to the radioreference site so everyone on Earth could hear of all of the "fun" police things happening in Bar Harbor Maine... ;)

I don't have a lot of luck. Probably mostly because i just don't out to these places often. Or early enough. But one guy on the aussiearcade forum bought a whole bunch of Commodore and Atari stuff for $100. He sold it all on ebay and totalled about $3500 in sales :o

Heh. I used to go through Bar Harbor several times a year to get on/off the Bluenose... not a whole lot else there.

About a year ago, I ran across a working Dig Dug with some minor cab damage for $50, and I passed it up (still kicking myself, though).

Well the fact that they are exactly like the ones you had as a kid....makes them beyond valuable. My Grand Father and great Grand Father both worked on the railroad. So the whole thing is great to me. Although as it stands I don't own any HO trains or tracks due to construction in my house still. I hope to buy some for my son when he grows up a bit.
Super bummer on the Dig Dug! :hissy:
