For 2 bucks a box, i'd of bought every darn box I could. I'll buy a box of bras and panties if I can make a dollar on them. You got me messed up, profit is profit, period.
:laughing9: :laughing9: :laughing9: I'd like to see you buying panties and bras :o :help: :tongue3:...Thanks I needed a good laugh this evening, diggummup :laughing7: .
But you're right 'profit is profit', period...and no sense in limiting yourself whether its underwear( :laughing7: ) or whatever else might sell. We've learned to have a broad outlook on things and keep an open mind--I used to just buy 'antiques' but not anymore! Its amazing what kind of things will sell on ebay :wink: .

You really hit a lick.

You should grab the strongest magnet off your kitchen fridge and see if it clings to any of the gold stuff. More than likely some of the clasps will cling to the magnet since they have to be made of stronger metal to hold the chain around your neck, but if it doesn't stick to the chain part that can be a good sign.

I would still get a tester kit. They are easy to use.

I didnt realize that 70's-80's stuff was worth anything. My Mom had a whole house full.

Im going to start selling on eBay again.

Thanks for posting. :icon_thumright:

Well, I just tested the gold necklace with the magnet and it didn't stick :hello2: .....Thanks for that tip, Hombre!

Everything seems to go thorugh cycles--People collect what they remember from their childhood, ect. For awhile the 1950's stuff was selling high, now it seems like the 60's thru the 80's is popular. But then again, you just can't tell what someone might buy.
Thanks BigCy~~

If you get back into eBay read through all their new policies and fee changes. I cancelled my account a few months ago, things just got ridiculous. >:(

Your quite welcome. :thumbsup: I figured somebody might get a kick out of that one. It's true though. You gotta keep an open mind. ;D

I can see the vase and maybe the Pyrex. Are those white handled utensils, juicer, Consol ashtray and napkins worth anything? My Mom had that exact white kitchen cutting board/hot tray with the fruit in the corner, or whatever it is and Corning Ware.. Mind boggling. Im happy you are making money.

The Corning Ware items are seasonal--I think I'm going to take them to my sister's junk shop. And the utensils didn't sell, but they will sell at the shop. That Consol ashtray had 2 watchers and ended without a bid :dontknow: , it will also go the the shop.
I very seldom relist an item--I kinda figure if it doesn't sell the first time around, there isn't any use in relisting.
We'll make money on these items whether its on ebay or at the shop. My sister tells me what she can get for the items at the shop and if its more that what they sell for on ebay, we just take them to the shop. Or I will list the items with a starting price like we'd get at the shop and if it doesn't sell, then its okay.
And now Ebay lets you list up to 50(or maybe 100) items a month, for free at auction. You just pay final value fees and shipping fees. So, I'm not out any listing fees.
Here's what sold today out of this stuff:
3 Madeira napkins---$9.99
Panasonic Pencil Sharperner---$15.99
Sweden Stainless Steel tray---$19.99
Waterford Crystal vase---$33.99
Irish Linen tablecloth---$19.99

The good jewelry:
The funny face reminds me of that Hopi Indian guy with the flute, Kokopeli. :dontknow:
Yeah, I've seen that face somewhere before but I don't know where. If this piece doesn't sell, I'll put it back and add it to a scrap lot of jewelry for ebay....I did pretty good on a couple of lots like that when silver was high.
Thanks BCH :hello:
