Says it's from the 1950s.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-77799659903542609432022-07-15T03:43:07.492-05:002022-07-15T03:43:07.492-05:00I've seen those Melodial Pianos, so I know wha...I've seen those Melodial Pianos, so I know what you are talking about. I like the Millenium Model cars. That's a really good haul for Hick, he'll make a bit more than he usually does.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-65753046499859733742022-07-14T20:24:57.418-05:002022-07-14T20:24:57.418-05:00Heh, heh!

PeeWee has a pull-string in his neck, but the sound is messed-up.<br /><br />Hick likes dealing with people, and looks for certain items that his regulars collect, like elephants, or Wonder Woman. He likes trading with other dealers, but tells them he's not paying retail, because HE has to make a profit, too. So they can take it or leave it, no hard feelings either way. It's just business.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-91432553794934981082022-07-14T20:19:18.304-05:002022-07-14T20:19:18.304-05:00Hick knows what items are worth.

However, he likes getting new (used) merchandise to turn it over quickly, and keep people coming back to see what new items he might have. He's said he will sell stuff for a 50-cent profit just to get new stuff to attract his shoppers. (Though not the high-dollar pieces like the guitars.)<br /><br />Hick does not want to sell on eBay and wait for a high price. He will sometimes put certain wares on the local Buy Sell Trade, to attract attention and get a better price than walk-in traffic might give him.<br /><br />Like the old saying about "what the market will bear," Hick knows how much his customers are likely to pay, and prices his items accordingly. He will trade some things for a loss, if he can get something else he knows he can sell to recoup that money and still profit. <br /><br />Hick also gives full refunds if one of his products does not work when the buyer gets it home, which is rare, because he tries them out first, and warns of any defects he detects.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-525695337421351682022-07-14T12:05:46.089-05:002022-07-14T12:05:46.089-05:00I would pay someone to take away that PeeWee Herma...I would pay someone to take away that PeeWee Herman.
