Steve – You mentioned that you bought the brass pipe stand in an auction lot for $8. Was the whole auction lot $8, or just the stand? (I assume just the stand).
Also, my first car was a 1987 Ford Mustang GT with a 5.0 liter engine in dark red / maroon – similar to one of the cars you sold, but I don’t think it was a GT.
Anyway, my interesting sales for the week:
Bordallo Pinheiro is a brand of ceramics from Portugal that is on my BOLO list. I might have priced this one a bit high because it did take about a year to sell. The buyer paid the full price of $47 through GPS to Abu Dhabi. I bought it for $2.50.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/182348661985I have sold a number of items now from a rummage sale I went to a few weeks ago. The first pile I walked up to contained various bags. I remembered that Steve had sold a Jansport backpack recently, so I told myself to look for one. Ask and you shall receive! This one had some significant pen marks inside, so I listed it for $30. Paid $3.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/182704208089At this one auction I attend regularly, they will combine box lots until they sell. This Stadler teapot was from the lot I didn’t want, but it came with the box I did want. It was in fair condition with crazing and a chip, but the prices were higher than I thought. My mother tells me that it was a popular style. I paid $0.75, and it sold for $19.

Hey Steve, how do you personally go about selling on FB marketplace…take a quick pic, short listing and throw it up there? And then are you comfortable allowing buyers from FB just come to your house to pay and pickup? Thanks, Matt

I haven’t done one of these for a while. Sales started rolling in slowly after I put my store back up on Wednesday so there weren’t very many notable sales. But here are a few…
Here was my high sale of the week. I bought a box lot of fishing junk on a whim at the tail end of an auction for a total of $9.00. In it were these galvanized metal fishing net buoys. They were kind of rusty and smelly, but I was surprised to find that they’ve sold for decent amounts in the past. I priced them at $75 and took a $50 best offer after they’ve been up for almost 6 months.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/302242315160The next thing I’ve sold was a workout replacement DVD. I don’t know if I’ve talked about these in the past, but I never hesitate to pick up these sets of DVDs if they’re cheap. I paid a dollar for a whole set of 14 Turbo Fire workout DVDs and I’ve been selling them individually for $15 a pop. They’re easy to list and easy to ship. I just put them in a thin plastic cd case and throw them in a bubble mailer. Out of this set, I’ve made $110 so far.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/302060474577I sold my last piece of Longaberger flatware. This was a dinner spoon that I found in the bins at the Goodwill outlet store. One good indicator of good flatware is it’s weight. These pieces just felt heavy, so I knew I would be able to sell them at a decent price. I paid .54 cents and sold it for $12. Not a great amount, but just think if you had a whole bunch and kept selling them individually. Easy to store, easy to ship, and they sold rather quickly.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/302345111326Finally, I wanted to give a shout out to Suzy here on the forums. Back before everything happened with the flood, she bought a Le Creuset cast iron frying pan from my store and sent me a very nice message. I acquired this skillet from an auction box lot that I paid too much for. It came with some other kitchen appliances but I had my eye on the skillet, as did some other people. I paid $50 for everything, only to find that this particular skillet didn’t go for as much as I had hoped. It still sold for $60 and I’ve still got a few other things from that lot that may sell eventually.
