My husband and I stopped by an estate sale today (mini-rant).

[ShazzieB]

One of the things I bought was this:



When I asked the prices for this and 2 other items (most everything was unmarked), the guy in charge looked at this one and said, "I feel like giving you this, just to get rid of her."

He walked away so fast that I didn't have time to fully process the comment. Once it sank in, I was pissed! I told my husband that it made me feel like not spending my money there, except I'd be cutting off my nose to spite my face by passing on items I wanted. So I bought them anyway, and I'm not sorry I did.

It was just a little thing, but grrrrr! It actually felt like a microaggression of sorts. If I imply that something you have or want to own is basically trash, am I not implying something about you? I think so!

Like I said, just a little thing, but it annoyed me enough that I felt like venting. But at least I got a cool action figure out of it. She'll be good company for my RBG action figure.

1. I don't remember Hillary as a brunette.

Or with so much teeth.

[ShazzieB]

3. I know.

I don't understand why they made her hair that color. But most action figures don't look exactly like the real person. I can live with it.

I think the smile looks about right, though:

2. About $15-$20 on eBay new in the box. Not quite a valuable collector's item.

Cute little thing.

7. If he was really demented he would have trashed it.

And you at least know who to avoid in the future if needed.

[ShazzieB]

25. He probably would have liked to trash her, but she wasn't his to trash, fortunately.

He didn't own any of the stuff. He was working for one of those companies who are hired to come in and sell off the belongings of someone who has died, in exchange for (I assume) a percentage of the proceeds.

Giving away or trashing even a small item would have cost him money.

8. Check for pinholes

Maybe it was used as a voodoo doll.

[Beachnutt]

9. You should have offered him 50 cents for it

and as soon as he took your money said you have a friend who had one of these and sold it for 5000.00 recently and nice doing business with you loser then walked out.

11. An amazing find!

[sinkingfeeling]

14. I'd have given him $4 for her and told him you're going to use her as a role model

for your kids or grandkids.

[txwhitedove]

15. Jealous. Now I want some action figures to offset the special

haha tRump prayer candle my kids "gifted" me.

[AllaN01Bear]

16. i didnt realize that hillary had a action fig.? wow. i also didnt realize that the

late rbg had an action fig too!!!!!. amaiZing.

[ShazzieB]

26. You'd be amazed how many politicians and other public figures there are action figures of!

FCTRY, the company that made my Hillary and RGB figures, still has RGB plus Obama, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders. They also made one called "Big Loser Donald Trump" (shown on their site as sold out lol). Plus Stacey Abrams, Dr. Fauci, and a few others. You can see and buy them here: https://fctry.com/collections/action-figures

FunkoPop puts out a few, too. I have a Hillary one that I bought in 2016. They also had Bernie abd Trump at the time.

[TNNurse]

17. Well, think that the man could have made a little money from you,

but he was too stupid and ignorant. So OK.

[ShazzieB]

27. Oh, he made a little.

I spent a whole 8 bucks, 2 of which were for the figure (he was just kidding about giving it away).

[housecat]

18. looks more like Nancy

[orleans]

19. i tend to agree. i googled pelosi action figure & there is one of her also. nt

[ificandream]

20. Love stories about thrift store/estate sale finds.

Wish we had a section devoted to it.

[marble falls]

21. I'da asked for whatelse he had for free.

[viva la]

22. If I know I have a quick getaway, I'll say sweetly something like,

"oh, really? We love Hillary in my family. I'm sending this to my aunt the nun. She's Hillary's biggest fan- the whole convent prays for her every night."


But what a great find! I'd love to see your Dem Femmes shelf!

[LudwigPastorius]

23. You should have said you needed it to go with your Trump action figure.
