  • Hey, how you doing?

  • What you got here?

  • Man, I've got a Jimmy Jet flight simulator.

  • A toy.

  • That's pretty cool.

  • When we were playing it, I saved the world about 10 or 12

  • times flying this thing myself.

  • So I'm sure somebody else can get some joy out of it as well.

  • Well, you have a pretty good imagination

  • because if I remember this thing doesn't do much.

  • [laughs] - Oh, it does everything.

  • Go ahead.

  • [sound of jet flying]

  • What I brought in today is my Jimmy

  • Jet Deluxe flight simulator.

  • I got this flight simulator from my grandparent's garage.

  • I'm looking to sell the Jimmy Jet flight simulator for $400.

  • If I can make a deal, I'll put the money to a real flight

  • simulator and go save the day. - Yeah.

  • This is pretty cool.

  • So Deluxe Reading Company, they were just a toy

  • manufacturer in the 1960s.

  • They made toys for the grocery store,

  • and you could get them also in a few catalogs.

  • This company kind of pushed that movement of bringing

  • toys into the grocery store.

  • OK.

  • Selling toys at supermarkets is a great idea.

  • And it must have worked because today

  • even big companies like Toys 'R Us have products

  • on grocery store shelves.

  • Food and toys all in one place?

  • It's like the best of both worlds.

  • But this is pretty cool just overall.

  • It's got the shape of a car.

  • So you can see like the tail lights here.

  • It's almost got this hood ornament

  • up here, which is pretty cool.

  • And it looks pretty high tech.

  • I mean, you got an altitude meter, climb meter,

  • RPM meter, mach 2, airspeed. OK.

  • Let me check it out. - Right there.

  • There's your controllers.

  • So let's see.

  • So that turns it on. - Absolutely.

  • You've got to hold that up--

  • There's your throttle control right there.

  • And then you just steer it, right?

  • - Absolutely. - Oh, yeah.

  • And that--

  • Now.

  • Now I'm remembering why toys were so

  • much better when I was a kid. - That's right.

  • That's right.

  • Less imagination and a whole lot less technology.

  • So how much are you looking to get for it?

  • I've looked it up, brand new mint condition.

  • OK.

  • $400, sir.

  • OK.

  • I think we're agreeing that it's not in mint condition.

  • [laughs]

  • Fair enough.

  • Let's try $150.

  • We can try to get $150 but not here.

  • As popular as they were, it does have

  • some cosmetic issues to it.

  • So I'd like to give you $20 for it.

  • $20, that's extremely low.

  • Let's try 75.

  • Ah.

  • $35, man.

  • It could sit in here for a year.

  • It could sit here for three weeks.

  • I really don't know.

  • You could take it home for yourself.

  • It's kind of what I'm feeling here.

  • Oh, I don't know if I should go any higher on it.

  • It's just so cool.

  • I'll give you $45 for it.

  • I can't do a penny more.

  • Yeah, man. Let's do it. $45.

  • All right. It's a deal.

  • - I'm good with that. - All right.

  • Meet me right here at the front. - All right.

  • Let's go.

  • $45 seems like a fair price.

  • I feel my need for speed.

  • It's time to pass it on to the next generation

  • and let somebody else go save the day.

Hey, how you doing?
