Tether Toy Car, $1,100

If the last was Mike’s favorite, then this may just be our favorite find. The tether toy car has an authentic engine inside. The toy worked by being tethered to a pole, hence the name and then driving in a circle. Amazing enough, the car could travel up to 90, 150 or even 200 mph! Thus, it was a great buy when Mike purchased one car and also two extra bodies for $1,100.

Well, if this gives you any indication of the negotiation process, this episode was called, “A Tough Nut To Crack.” After hard work talking with the owner, Don Johnson, agreed to sell his 1920’s Planter’s Mr. Peanut nut-roasting machine. They settled on $13,000, even though Johnson asked for $16,000.
