Happy Veterans Day to you, Steven, and all our fellow vets on the board.
This WWII son-in-service pin was a nice example, in sterling and maker marked, and it had two blue stars so it denotes two sons in service. (A gold star denotes KIA.) Yes, there were military women who served but the pins are known as “son-in-service” and many, like this one, specifically state that. It was in a $10 jewelry box full of random items at the flea market and sold for $15 plus shipping on a best offer.

The pins came in many different varieties, cheap metal to 14K gold, but the real BOLO is a six-star pin. Here’s an unmarked 6-star pin that does not say “son in service” that sold for $235 at auction recently.This ‘70’s Gemini disco mixer with cueing for two turntables was a $5 yard sale find. It needed a little cleaning up and though with limited features not among the more desirable of vintage mixers, sold quickly at $50 plus shipping on a best offer. The buyer told me he used to use this model as a DJ years ago. There is a different model Gemini mixer that was used by Grandmaster Flash back in the day that goes for a lot more.

Here’s a neat RPPC from 1930’s Shanghai, China, depicting the famous dragon boat races. It seems a bit unusual to me that I could get this much for a card with tourism subject matter but I’m not complaining. It was part of a large auction lot and sold for $20 plus Pirate Ship Special Export Rate shipping to China on a best offer (listed at $34.79).https://www.ebay.com/itm/275493941762
Jewelry is usually a dead letter for me. I’m not sure why I have so much trouble categorizing, titling, and describing jewelry and it usually sits and sits so I’m quite proud of this sale. It’s an Ann Hand Forget-Me-Not enamel pin that was commissioned for female veterans and given out at an event by a corporate sponsor. It sold for full price at $75 plus shipping. -
@temudgin – Not sure how you found the link to this page. The place below the video that usually has a link did not this time. Anyway, glad you found it, let me catch up.
From my ongoing consignment, I found a vintage Shetland wool sweater that sold for $26.

I mention this metal trivet, which I sold for a mere $7.61, only because I sold it to someone in China using Pirate Ship Simple Export rate like Temudgin’s postcard above. The big issue with shipping via first class to China is that tracking ends when it gets on that plane in the US. You have to trust the buyer.

My dad’s old iPad keyboard sold for $40.

A few more things on consignment:
A set of Lennox ornaments for $44; I believe these were purchased off one of the shopping channels.

Spanx, for $54.

Lastly, a vintage golf course glass for $29. I once had a set of similar style baseball glasses, but they sold for much less. Not sure why the golf course one is more valuable.

I clicked on Forums in the top banner, then What Sold! to get to the page with all the What Sold topics.
Nice golf course highball glass. I have done well with those and with similar ski resort glasses. I’ve found them cheap in thrift stores. I think they sell for more than baseball glasses because of what golfers and skiers will put in them to drink. Baseball fans are drinking beer out of a can, or a plastic cup. 🙂
