Steve was surprised that a worn out (we like to say “distressed”!) leather bag would sell, but it did. It’s a great keyword for that vintage, worn out[See the full post at: What Sells On eBay: Stetson Fedora, Leather Messenger Bag, Doc Marten Mary Janes, Bentwood Box]

A few notables:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/507554573/rare-antique-the-rathskeller-cafe-and?ref=shop_home_active_2
found at an online auction for $15, sold for $60 I was the only bidder and there were a couple of other saleable pieces in the lot.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/507585319/antique-1900-worlds-fair-paris-france?ref=shop_home_active_1
another online find–sold for $65 and I have a few stereoviews that came in the lot still to sell.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/488717044/vintage-1946-drink-pepsi-cola?ref=shop_home_active_10
This is an interesting story, found at a thrift store for $10, I was really excited when I got it home and took it apart and saw that it was stamped 1946–I wanted a lot of money for it, until it was brought to my attention that the Pepsi-cola decal was almost certainly added much later, anyway I got $55 for it “as is” and was happy with that.
bought online for $30, sold for $75–a quick flip as they say.

LOVE World’s Fair stuff. I always find items form the NYC fairs, but this Paris item is so cool. Crazy to see what a souvenir was then vs. now.

A few used items to share, but no real home runs.
I’ve sold several of these Brown Bag Cookie pans and thrift them for about $3-5. The individual cookie molds do not seem move as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BROWN-BAG-COOKIE-ART-Mold-1990-Animals-amp-Birds-Shortbread-Pan-Chocolate-Paper-/231779852641?rd=1
These straw trivets always sell and are always very cheap ($1/set) to pick up. Check to see if the stinging is loose by twisting. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-Woven-TRIVETS-Set-2-Raffia-Straw-Hot-Pads-Retro-Wall-Decor-APPLE-amp-HEN-/231905282432?rd=1
I was surprised that this neutral colored afghan sold very quickly. I usually go for the colorful ones. Bulky death pile item, glad to move it out -paid $3. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Handmade-Crochet-Afghan-Blanket-with-Neutral-Chevron-Pattern-Tan-amp-Ivory-/332079298152?rd=1
I’ve found a lot of these for cheap ($1-2/set) and they really sell quickly if they have Hallmark on the back.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Hallmark-Cookie-Cutters-Fall-Thanksgiving-Holiday-Turkey-Pilgrams-Set-3-/331999918009?rd=1I have not done very well with paper items on Ebay, but did finally sell these, thrifted for $1.50. I might buy again if a blockbuster movie, since I had to pay up myself online for theme supplies from an out of theatre movie (How to Train your Dragon). http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAR-WARS-Party-Plates-amp-Napkins-Episode-VII-The-Force-Awakens-Kylo-Ren-BB8-Rey-/231948267454?rd=1

Just two sales this past week, but good ones for me.
This silver plated pitcher I got at my first auction last March. I had stepped off to the side and my mom ended up bidding on it for me. It came with a coffee pot that I sold early on. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-WM-Rogers-Son-Victorian-Rose-Water-Pitcher-1917-Silverplate/252386075285
This watch was an attempt at pay more for higher sales and after a few months I took a best offer about 40% off where I started. I like the idea behind buying big ticket items, but selling the watches I got has been a learning experience to say the least. I’ll be happy when the 30 days after sale happens with no issues. Lots of stress for my small store. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Invicta-Reserve-Collection-14308-Bolt-Zeus-SW500-Automatic-Swiss-Movement-Steel/252638155697

Killer messenger bag sale, Steven!

Have to start here. For those of your that read the posts from Monday, this is old news. For those of you that haven’t, I picked these up on the third day of an estate sale with everything super picked over. Sitting on a table in a box, paid $20 for them. After researching, saw individually they could sell for big bucks if they were European language like French, German, and even Jewish recordings – presumably because they were destroyed after two World Wars. Didn’t look like I had anything like that, but common ones regularly sold for $5-$10. Put them up high to see what happened, and they sold for full price ($500) within 5 minutes of posting. They are en route now to outside of Seattle. I’ll feel much better when they arrive in one piece.Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon LP

Another type of item I always pick up if cheap – old brass belt buckles. Sold for $25 best offer.John Derian Decoupage tray
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191949574151
Nervous about this one. Took a best offer of $130 because it’s been sitting for a while, buyer still hasn’t paid. This is actually the second time it’s sold, and the buyer didn’t pay the first time either.-

I have a nice copy of Dark Side, it has a minor warp though. Do people still buy them like that? Can you de-warp a record?
I like the album but I have it on 8-track as well.-
02/01/2017 at 6:27 pm #11610
Well, there’s a couple layers to record collectors that I’ve found. There’s ones that are just getting into records and want entry level stuff – good copy, no scratches, nice cover – and that’s probably what I specialize in. Then you have the audiophiles that NEED the most pristine versions and versions that might be directly from the master recordings (usually marked “MFSL” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Fidelity_Sound_Lab). Then there are collectors that want the first pressings only – look at the deadwax in the middle and you’ll see a matrix of numbers/letters. Side One with A1 and Side Two with B1 at the ends are what you want for those guys. Even a warped record with A1/B1 could be worth it. Otherwise it would probably be a wall hanger if it had a really nice cover.

I like that pantry box. I remember the video where Sheldon showed a firkin box (love the name), which he sold for hundreds of dollars. By the way, I don’t think that Sheldon has created a video or posted on this forum for a month or two. I miss his videos. I hope he is doing well.
Here are a few interesting sales of mine from the past week:
Jackie B Kennedy necklace that I sold on consignment for $89. My friend bought a lot of stuff from QVC, and this is one of them. These are based on jewelry Jackie owned:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=182416362390A buyer asked me to sell her these hand-painted candles for $30 including shipping. Once the sale went through, I found I could send them in a Regional A flat rate box, and I was able to get back close to my original asking price:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=182322332890This is a very low priced sale of $10 including shipping for four vintage pins. The more interesting pin is a hula girl with a foot missing next to a palm tree. I found the feedback from the buyer to be really cute: “The amputee hula girl is a charmer.”

These were my favorite – though not highest – sales this week:
I bought these vintage shoes at thrift store last summer in Mobile, Alabama when I got my daughter settled into college there for $5.00. Had a lot of watchers and finally took a best offer of $30.00 plus shipping. The buyer purchased them via GSP and was located in the U.K.:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1960s-Red-White-Blue-Chunk-Heel-Mod-Shoes-HiBrows-Size-5-5-Spectator-/301911728158?rd=1This was given to me with some other things by an acquaintance who wanted some info on how I sell on Ebay. So, kind of a consulting fee, I guess, but I would have gladly talked to her for free. It sold within a day of listing, and shipping was about $4.00:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lynyrd-Skynyrd-The-Definitive-Collection-Box-Set-3-Discs-with-Book-1991-/302205950291?rd=1Finally, I found this in the basement while decluttering. Husband I had bought it several years ago at The Home Depot and never used it. I ended up wrapping it in two large black garbage bags for shipment, and it just barely made the cut for USPS Priority Mail measurements:

Steve: I thought your projection screen find was interesting. A neighbor of mine moved, at least a year ago and he put two old projection screens out for the junk. I saw them and took them home. They were in fairly decent workable condition, but one was larger than the other. I assume he acquired the smaller one first and later bought the larger one many years ago (he is retired). I listed them both, but only sold one so far for I think $24.00. The other one refuses to sell even for $15.00, but I will leave it listed since I got it for free.
