Thrift with Me! - I spent $3.75 on these forgotten masterpieces!!

 All I had was the change in my purse and since I had walked all the way to the Post Office, I decided to walk the distance to my honey pot, the Hospice. Which is becoming more and more less of a secret. 

I gifted Alexander The Final Cut to Anthony because it is his favorite movie. There's 45 minutes of unseen footage for him.

The shelves again were empty of books, so i picked up Trump Surviving at the Top to add to my other Art of the Deal to hopefully sell as a bundle. Before the elections, Trump was a liked guy. On Oprah, in rap songs, and even made an appearance on Home Alone. 

Let It Go" is Avril Lavignes first album and my pre teen years on a disc. The case is a little scratched up, but the CD looked in great condition. I haven't put my CD's up for sell yet since I want to test them first. 

The Scooby-Doo Storybook Collection is too perfect. I will put it together with a Scooby Doo plush toy and list right away. It only has a name in the front and has all clean pages. Love Scoob!! 

Of course I picked up Rooster's Off to the See the World, since Eric Carle passed away this year in May at 91 years old, and now everyone is after his books even more so. 

Inch by Inch is by Leo with the same collage art style, so I might throw that in with a bundle.

Now for the forgotten masterpiece!! 

*que Dreamworks "Deliver Us"

I could not let go of The Prince of Egypt which was my best find because it's going for some money on Amazon and Ebay. The soundtrack is badass, I still listen to songs like "Deliver Us" "When You Believe" "All I Ever Wanted" and "Through Heaven's Eyes" When i was a kid, we saw this movie on the big screen and it was groundmaking, like with the scene when Moses parts the Red Sea. This is also at a time when 3d animation is being played with, and you can see that in some parts, it's done very well. Honestly one of the best animated classics the last 20 years has seen for sure. 

I'm getting better at being more selective of what I purchase to resell, especially since I still have a lot. Today is the first day I'm feeling better from this terrible toothache that I've had since Friday. It's Wednesday!

 This book sold within a month of listing, The Goldfinch. I recently relisted this week too, for $4.50 + $3.99 shipping. (Before I relisted this book, it was $9 shipped.
