    Default Big score at Goodwill today

    Dh and I found this train at Goodwill today. They had just put it out on the floor and dh scooped it up quickly. Yep, we only paid 16.00 for this 170.00 train and it's in excellent condition. Ds is downstairs in the basement riding it and having the time of his life.

    I also picked up a bread machine for 5.00. The sticker was green and that's the color of the week. Wooohoooo!!!

    You got an awesome deal. When your kids tire of it or get too old for it I just bet you could get big bucks for it on ebay but then maybe that is the type of toy you'd want to keep for grandkids. Looks like a classic toy.
