LOL, check out the electronics prices and descriptions in the 83 Sears catalog.
toys and ladies' lingerie FTMFW!!!!
Haven't gone through them yet, but did any of you do latch hook stuff? You could make cheezy wall hangings and pillow cases out of your "creations". It was kind of like a textile paint by numbers kit, and amusing in the same way solitaire is, but you get a tangible result from your time wasted.
what's odd is I dont see any of the Star Wars toys I used to dool over. Nor any of the lingerie.
79 and 85 Sears catalogs have quite a bit Star Wars stuff. I didn't see any in the 83 catalog so either I missed it or it has missing pages.
To the OP: thanks again for a memory lane thread. This along with your Saturday morning cartoon ones a few days back... makes me feel old... old but happy
Ha, I forgot about the conver belt until you mentioned it. Keep looking at all the boxes that come up front .... nope not ours, nope, ... here it is.Service Merchandise was cool back in the day. They had great catalogs too. Damn it was cool getting to buy something from there and seeing it come out on that conveyor belt.

You're welcome
I just hit 41 this month so I am one of you "old timers" (which is why I made this and my other "nostalgia" threads).
When you get those childhood memories that come rushing back (quite a rush it is!), it doesn't seem like that long ago (has it REALLY been 30+ years!), does it?
i used to love that place. it was the best place to get hewlett packard calculators. i also got a handheld sharp computer and a tag heuer watch there. there were two similar stores, called best products and consumers distributing that were pretty cool as wellService Merchandise was cool back in the day. They had great catalogs too. Damn it was cool getting to buy something from there and seeing it come out on that conveyor belt.

Amazing, someone mentioned service merchandise.... looks like it got resurrected as an online jewelry store.
