Very cool that the model rocket was unused! Great sale too. Thanks for sharing.
Here are my sales for the last week of June. Pretty slow! Bunch of low dollar sales. This was still my best June ever, so I’ll take it and run. What Sold Online June 21-27 2020
Great sales, everyone! Christine, that wood thing baffles me, as well. Not quite Tiki, but not quite African, either.
My sales have ticked along through my move and long handling times, but just fair to middling. Here are a few since last post.
For a long time my wife collected cow things but is now contributing them to my inventory. She doesn’t recall what she paid for this small pictorial creamery crock but it would have been a cheap yard sale or thrift shop find. It sold for $28 plus shipping.
I never messed with random games or toys missing parts until Steven’s sales showed that game part lots can be steady sellers. Low buyer drama, and easy to pack and ship. This lot of Mega Blocks magnetic roller coaster construction kit pieces out of the household donation box sold for $15 plus shipping.
Here’s a small, cheap African mask of what I believe is a fairly generic style sold to tourists that sold for $24 plus shipping. This was out of my free junk pile. The buyer was ecstatic about it – maybe I’m missing something?
This leather cafe racer style motorcycle jacket was only $6 at an indy thrift. At first I passed right over it at the store, assuming it was not real leather, but fortunately went back to take a closer look at it. At that price and still hanging on the rack when I got to it I was obviously not the only one who thought it was faux. It sold for $190 plus shipping.
I think it was Ryanne who lamented not long ago that the market for oriental rugs has plummeted. Unfortunately I’ve still got some rug inventory that was purchased when things were better. I could just let them sit until prices come back, but that could be a while, or never. I let this small 19” x 29” one go for the $30 I paid for it, and I offered free shipping to be competitive in the category.
I haven’t had many really good the last two weeks, so I haven’t posted much. I’ll just mention one from last week. One of my colleagues from my previous job gave me a bunch of vacuum tubes to sell. Several were sitting in an empty model car box. Apparently, there is a market for these old boxes. I took an offer of $6.25. Obviously, this was not nearly my best sale, but it was kind of interesting. https://www.ebay.com/itm/184288628040
