Well, here we are on "May the 4th Be With You Day" and I've just about blown through all of my Star Wars content.
All but a few that is. Granted, they're not very exciting, but they did make me a little money.
I was at sale in January and came across a bag full of children's bed linens. I immediately saw they were vintage character-themed and dug through them. I came up with a few original Star Wars sets.
The Empire Strikes Back set included fitted sheets, sheets and a pillow case.
I was at a private estate sale a few weeks ago and while looking around, I saw a LaserDisc player for sale. The owner noticed my interest and told me there were disks that went with it. I asked to look at them and she lead me to a cabinet filled with them.
I should mention, most LaserDiscs are worthless, but there are a few exceptions, so I scanned through the library. This was the first to catch my eye.
I never had a LaserDisc player back in the day and have always kind of wanted one just to have the experience. Unfortunately, after testing the LaserDisk they were selling, it wouldn't read the discs and just made a sad clunking noise. I did end up buying these along with a few other desirable titles that I could flip for a few dollars.
I picked up the disks for $1 each. I ended up selling the Star Wars trilogy for $36 on eBay. Not a killing, but it paid for the whole day of saling that day.
What, you want more? Okay, one more minor Star Wars find.
I came across a bnch of 70's and 80's television and movie novelizations.
In addition to the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back novelizations, I found this Marvel Comics adaption of The Empire Strikes Back. Back then, it was a licensing collaboration between Lucasfilm and Marvel Comics. These days Disney owns everything. They could even throw the Simpson's into the mix.
