I found a rare mutt toy for $15 - it sells for $1,500 on eBay but it's all about the color
A VINTAGE toy worth as much as $1,500 has been found at a flea market for just $15.
On a table scattered with vintage toys, an eagle-eyed shopper spotted a rare item.
Ready Set Resell (@ready_set_resell) is an avid thrifter who regularly finds vintage toys, T-shirts, and more.
In a video, he sorted through tons of toys at a flea market ranging from stuffed animals to action figures.
Along with classics like Teddy Ruxpin and Raggedy Ann was a small action figure of a fierce-looking dog bearing its teeth.
The TikToker had never seen the toy before, and although it was missing an arm he was intrigued by it.

The missing arm was nearby, and he decided to buy it for just $15.
He initially thought it might be from a brand called Street Shark, which would have earned him about $30.
After looking into it, he found out the toy was actually from a short-lived brand called Muscle Mutts.
The action figure was named Gutter, and he's actually very rare to find.

On eBay, only eight of these action figures have sold and one pair went for $2,500 in June.
One of the figurines in the pair was the same one the TikToker found.
Another Gutter figurine in a yellow jacket sold for $1,500 in May.

Valuable vintage toys can be hard to come by because they often look so unassuming.
TikToker @LadyArbitrage shared a perfect example of this when she found a simple $1 toy that is actually worth $1,000.
In a recent video, she explained there is a specific tag to look for to find valuable items.
The brand Jellycat usually sells for cheap at thrift stores but can go for big bucks online.
One Jellycat blue puppy dog toy was priced at just $2 but sells online for $45.
In the store, she dug through piles of toys to try and find something.
“There was Jellycat everywhere,” she said. “Most of them only for $1.”
She found a rare Jellycat toy called Little Fergus the Frog that sells for $1,190 on eBay, and another one called Gertrude Goose, can be sold for $299.
