This Weekends Finds...

[war-digs-it]

Nothing to get really excited about but I haven't posted my normal take home type items in a while so here is something to look at for a couple seconds if you like.

The cobalt glasses may not move fast or bring a lot but for $2 I couldn't say no. If you know the pattern or maker offhand give me a shout out.

Plates are from GW this morning. Usually they price good plates a little too high for me to bother with. The maker is Sango and the pattern is "Blue Nova".

The neon signs don't work of course, can't get that lucky usually. They still will a bring a good return, paid $15 for the pair.

Another sale brought the old Trek 560 bike. They wanted $10 but I was walking away and offered $5. Sold! I knew it was a great bike a long time ago so I took a chance. It needs new tires and cleaning but that will be for whoever buys it.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

The neon signs might just need a transformer. It looks as if the tubes are all good, not broken anywhere? How to replace a neon transformer You can't go wrong with a $5 Trek. The Sango Nova Blue plates should do okay. I sold some Sango Gold Dust plates a while back. The stems don't look familiar, offhand.

Looks like the bike might be a decent one for the age. Quick check of sold listings confirms they do sell for a nice profit margin. The crank, shift levers, brakes and derailleur are Suntour parts. Don't know if it came stock like that or not.

I won't be fixing the neon, too many projects already stacked up. I think the Daytona sign will bring a good chunk of change working or not. I have sold a non working bud sign (4 footer) for $150 in the past.

Nice finds, war.

I love the Trek. Is it a US made model?

What is the deal on the blue dishes? Any value?

The blue goblets: About every department store in the US had colored goblets on the shelves about 15 years ago. I bought my mom a set in red. My guess is that they might not be marked, but what do I know?

Nice score!

The Trek is a U.S. made model, has some scratches and rust, needs tires but should sell for over a hundred. Going to try locally first as there are a ton of bike people in the area.

The glasses should do okay, here is a sold listing I found for them. I have six perfect ones.Libbey Set of 4 Martello Rock Sharpe Wine Water Goblets Cobalt Blue | eBay

The dinner plates can sell for about $10 each plus shipping. I'll try a set of four and see how it goes. Hate shipping more than a few plates in a box at a time.

Interested to know if the glasses have the script L mark on the bottom? I know Libbey marks a lot of their stuff but I don't think they mark all of it.

Time to sell those neon signs is now. Guys are outfitting their man-caves for football season.

Nope, no mark that I can see. I did check that name pattern to replacements to make sure of what it was.

No, I believe you, I was just wondering for my own sake.
