My Sony Handycam From 1998

Hello dear Readers! Today I will be writing about my Sony Handycam from 1998. I got this camera last year for $10 (was $15 but I haggled it down).



                                                Here's a photo of it:

                           
It's in basically in mint condition with only on scratch i know of. It has been for sale on eBay for $220. 

                                             Here's The Story On How I Got My Camera

I was at the local tip/junk yard and was looking for cameras (because I had found only a week or so before two vintage video cameras for 5 bucks) and I stopped at a bag, a camera bag to be precise. I went over to it and opened it up. I was very surprised. ''Dad'' I whispered ''There's an old Sony Handycam over there! ''But its $15'' He whispered back. I said to him: ''Yeah but there expensive cameras though'' (In the end I bought it. But my parents thought I had bought a piece of rubbish) When I got home I got it inside and plugged it in. It was working fine with battery holding charge like a BEAST. Once I had brought it to a wildlife park for my sister's birthday. About 2/5 months later I get it out of my wardrobe to find it had only lost about 1/4 blocks of charge! I was very happy that I had a camera I could trust to bring on car trips and days out. And now I have only charged it about 4-5 times since I got it.


                                        Thank You HandyCam!

1948 'Bruce D Mann' Watch

Hello Everyone! This time I will be writing about my 1948  'Bruce D Mann' watch!



                                                           
                                                  This is my Watch & Nokia E71

                                                           This is how i got it:

It was a Sunday, and my Dad an I were looking for something to do, because an Anzac parade was on and they had blocked the roads off so the only way to get home was an 10-15 minute drive AROUND the bridge. My Dad spotted a sign about a clear out nearby so we headed that way (also the way home to) when we went there I was surprised about the location (a butter factory) and when we went inside I was VERY excited because there was antiques and boxes of: books, glass cups, cheap water-proof phone bags, and brick-a-brack. I found a Nokia E71 in a phone bag and I wanted it but I thought I could not keep it because it was part of the box (the box was like $15) but later he gave it to me for free! 
I loved the place (but soon loved it more you will find out if you keep reading) Dad and I were both looking at a box of card games and pottery and junk when I saw a watch band I read the back of it and guess what it said...18KT Gold! I showed it to my Dad and he said: 'get it' so I asked how much for the box and he said $10. So I bought it home checked the computer (to see the price it was worth) and found nothing at all on the web. I kept it for a while and then FINALLY listed it so it was out of the way for me. Back to the subject, I found the 1948 Bruce D Mann watch inside the box and i was amazed to find out it was 70 years old! I tested it and to my surprise it worked! Later I was walking around trying to look for more stuff when i got into a conversation with the owner of the stuff in the boxes when he said: ''Do you like laptops'' and I said: ''yes!'' So he said: ''I have a couple of laptops around the back, you can have if you want'' So I was super happy about that. (and one of them is the laptop on my introduction post) The laptop still works fine but I didn't know that until a few days later when i found the charger for it in a free stuff box. 


                        So That's The Story On How I got My 
                     
                                              1948 Bruce D Mann Watch...
