Just got back from Las Vegas with a few goodies
« on: October 08, 2009, 08:55:43 PM »
Something from Russia, Canada and USA.........one stop shopping in Vegas.:Funny;


Went to a few Pawnshops and picked all these nice little goodies for a very good price I may add :)



The Russian Dolls open into 8 or 10 each smaller as you open. I stopped in my usual pawnshops, starting with
the one that is on TV now "Pawn Stars" Their coins used to be  high but they are even higher since they started that show.
But they were unaware of the Russian doll set as it is old and not new ;D

Then when further North to another place and picked up the PCI ASE for my usual discounted price....help when you know them


Then went to downtown Vegas and hit a few more casinos and stopped in another pawnshop I know and picked up the 1973 RCMP:D
Excellent price ;D ;D


Overall I did well......2 nights in the Venetian room and food free (comp't) made some $$ and on the way home stopped for lunch just outside
of Vegas and picked up some more $$$
Seams that I either got lucky this time or the slot machines are getting loose again!:)

Love the colour on that RCMP. Sounds like you had a lot of fun and luck. Wish my wife was still alive, she would love those Russian Dolls. She use to collect the Polish Dolls and hand painted Eggs and ones made from gold.

Thanks regandon :)

My Mom and I used to make the hand painted Ukraine eggs. They were a blast
