I had that experience at the Goodwill yesterday that I'm sure many of you can relate to...I had done my cursory inspection of the merchandise, was feet from the door, turned around and decided to give the shelves one last glance. Nothing on the coffee mug and glass shelf, nothing amongst the plates and bowls, nothing in the metal aisle, nothing around the plastic cups...then the last shelf with the wooden junk and baskets. I saw it, gasped and reached out for it fearing someone else's grubby hand was gonna snatch it away just as my fingers touched it...

I couldn't believe it! I had actually found something I had been looking for and had even considered shelling out big bucks for on Ebay! He's about 6 inches tall, pretty detailed and cost a whopping $3.00! The day before I left the very same Goodwill with the intention of abandoning my daily searches and now this! "I try to get out, but they keep dragging me back in."

I found one of these as well a couple of months ago at a Salvation Army thrift store, i guess these are somewhat common find. Does anybody have any info about it?
