Garage Sale Finds......

This past Sunday my dad called and asked if I wanted to go to a local community garage sale, to which believe it or not, I said no. Then he said ok, and he was going. I said to have fun going with mom, to which he said she was not going. So I opted in to going with him then. We arrived and went inside. did my quick walk through the small community center and right up front and center at teh end of my loop, I saw a toy helicopter, one of the cheap offshore ones sold in malls. Nope, not interested and it was still 72 mHz anyways. Then I thought I saw something under a bunch of other stuff. Curiosity peaked and I prevailed. It was a Parkzone Vapor. Appeared in really good shape, with the exception of a small section of the 'covering' coming off the rudder, and a small spot on the elevator. Nice, but now how much did he want for it? Before I could ask, I unearthed another box. A Parkzone Ember. Now teh debate was on. Which did I want? Despite teh boxes both seeing better days, and I really mean that, the planes both looked immaculate. He proceded to tell me they were both brand new and unflown. Well, even the 8 AA batteries were still in the factory packaging. Both lipo batteries were in plastic bags taped to the styrofoam in the bottoms, as well as the Ember's landing gear.

Now was showtime...... He saw I was interested, so he asked if I was. I decided I wanted the Vapor. He said to make an offer, to which I hate doing. Well, he asked so I replied. First thing that shot out of my mouth was $20. He looked at me and then said for both. Again, he asked... I replied yep! He looked at me and didn't say anything. I was still going to stick to the $20 offer for the Vapor alone. He said he didn't want to take them home, so accepted my offer! Yay me. Now I got two cute little calm outdoor fliers to add to my Champ and Cub!
