The Great Ebay Experiment
And that’s it for this year! Not a bad deal actually.
Sold:
- Return to Oz Storybook — Got this from Savers and it looked brand new to me. Hope it made a collector happy.
- Metal Enamel Napkin Rings — Picked these up in a lot with a bunch of other napkin rings. I’ve already paid off the lot. This is just gravy now, which makes me very happy.
- Book of Polish Poems — Picked this up from Savers. It’s beautiful. I wish I could read it.
- Sandman Book — I love Neil G. I really do. I hope this is going to another fan.
- KitchenAid Mixer cover — This was my Mom’s but she used it once and decided it wasn’t worth it.
- The Dovekeepers book — This is actually a part of a fundraising group of books which is for specifically a Super Secret Project.
- Sherlock Holmes Puzzles book — Also part of a fundraising group of books.
- Values to Action book — Also one of those darned fundraising books.
- Twas the Night Before Christmas — Another part of my Savers pile. 🙂
- Precious Moments Figure — Selling these for a friend. Pretty sure I’m down to three left.
- Calvin & Hobbes book — Got the slipcased collection, so I’ve been selling my regular books. I’m always happy that someone else will get a smile out of them.
- Vintage birdhouse ornament — one of the oldest items in my shop. Pretty sure I’ve taken a loss on it, but at least it’s sold.
