I bought these matching mugs at a Goodwill for a few dollars thinking that they were unique. They have been sitting in my store for a few years and finally sold for $20.
I overpaid for this African hand carved stool because I thought that I was buying three full sized ones when I was actually buying only this one, and the other two were doll sized. Anyway, this one sold for $125, but I paid about $75.
My commission person has lots of fabric. I don’t care to test each piece of fabric so that it can be listed accurately, so I gathered a large quantity and listed it for $49 or best offer. The buyer did not make an offer, but I did a 20% off with the make offer feature. It sold for $39.
This is a Czech army rifle magazine pouch from the 1970’s. I can’t imagine what it must have been like to have to use and carry leather gear like this as a soldier. Thank goodness the US Army had gone to nylon by the time I joined in 1979, though I recall that some National Guard units still had the old canvas equipment from the 1950s at that time. This sold for $24 plus shipping.
This Nikon Nikkor Ai 43-86 Zoom Lens took a couple year to sell for $30 plus shipping. I have found that photographic equipment buyers to be a bit high maintenance but this sale went off without a hitch.
This Sears Shotgun cleaning kit sold for $20 plus shipping. For you youngsters, Sears was the Amazon of my generation and those previous. You could buy just about anything there and they dominated retail. Prior to 1940 you could even buy a kit to build an entire house.
This is a reproduction cast iron fireplace fire starter with pumice stone wand. It was filled with kerosene which soaked the pumice stone, which you then lit and placed under the wood to start the fire. Not exactly child-proof, this was a common fireplace accessory in the 1960s – 1970s with colonial decor. It went to Southern California (???) for $40 free shipping, which wasn’t too bad by FedEx Home.
