@christiner I think the heaviness of the stoneware depresses the prices. Not exactly dishwasher friendly!
(none of it mine)
@christiner That’s the good Denby!
Had an original Glyn Colledge piece once- the glaze was flaking off. He was the main designer back in the 1950s. The hand-signed stuff (mugs and plates) is hand-decorated in varying designs. I don’t see much of it these days- doesn’t sell.
Six plastic sacks of Machins.
I can paint a rainbow.
Picked up a small plastic organiser at the flea market, which was stuffed full of dried-up modelling glue, small metal files and other tools for making model kits up. When I emptied it out I found two black velvet bags stuffed with gold chains.
Turned out to be gold-plated junk (I used a magnet and an eyeglass- no “.375” mark, and half the chains stuck to the magnet).
Been picking my way through thousands of stamps, in tobacco tins, old albums and cardboard boxes. I bought these at auction- must have been a “house clearance” in an old-time stamp dealer’s place.
Just now found a 5 cent Canal Zone stamp from 1904- it was lying round loose in an album. Which kind of makes up for my strained eyes!
So it was brewed in Alabama? I bet nobody ever drunk it warm! 🙂
@sharyn Probably! It’s been over a year since my last eBay purchase. Bought them off an air-ambulance charity; a photo of the cut-down dog-food box they were posted in wouldn’t have done the charity any favours!
I agree with Craig- better just to give the one-third refund, unless you’ve got a throwaway email address you can use.
I bought some stamp catalogues off eBay a couple of weeks back. Only mentioning it because when I went to leave feedback eBay gave me the option of adding images to the feedback. Weird.
On the other hand feedback left for me is no longer displayed on my overview page, so I don’t have to read it, which is a real plus! Just the numbers, ma’am.
This crafting piece is made from old pants, crafted into ribbon roses or flowers. The theme is floral, with a colour described as filthy, possibly indicating a distressed or aged appearance. The product’s title, “Piece of old rope the property of an ancient mariner,” adds a whimsical and vintage touch, suggesting a connection to the sea or history. It would make a unique addition to crafting projects, adding a touch of character and nostalgia.
But no one really reads descriptions anymore.
I blame that pablum produced by the AI:
The bottle’s beautiful green colour and intricate design make it a great addition to any collection of collectable bottles and pots.
and laziness:
Good condition
does have scratches in the glass from been buried
does have swirls in the glass
see all pictures
My friend’s dog’s got a Facebook account that I set up years ago. Unfortunately I can’t remember the password, else this old Schnauzer’ll be selling to those Germans toot sweet!
eBay UK have been advertising the new tax reporting thresholds; £1,750 or thirty sales, and then they’ll contact the seller to ask for unspecified information that they’ll pass on to His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
They stress that this doesn’t mean that sellers will be paying tax, but they do state that sales of over £6,000 will be liable for Capital Gains Tax.
Car boot season’s going to be big this year! Cash sales only…
One hundred boxes of NOS overlocker sewing needles, a foot pedal controller for a sewing machine, a pair of C19 sugar nips. two rosewood spirit levels, a patent boot stretcher by the Magic Polish Company, a modern Ukrainian bible with a loose WW2 photo of troops inside, a 1930s cigarette-card album of airliners, three metal plates for drawing wire into round, square and semicircular sections, a hand-carved wooden tray and a WW2 German ammunition crate. The lot, £38.
There’s a story behind the Ukrainian bible, but unfortunately it’s handwritten in Cyrillic. The photo shows a smiling group of European soldiers draped over the bonnet of a lorry, accompanied by a somewhat disgruntled-looking British soldier. Their caps look like German field caps.
