    Consignment sale find

    Hi All
    This is my first post so we will see how it goes. In March I went to a local consignment auction and bought these tokens to resell on EBay.
    I go to all the local estate sales and auctions to buy antiques and other stuff I can sell on the auction sites. I have had really good luck doing this for the last 5 years or so with a few surprises. I usually make about 60 percent return on my investments. Usually tokens and coins go for way more than they are worth so I don't usually get any. When it came to these tokens nobody wanted them so I gave them a one dollar bid and got them. Over the next week I put a bunch of my purchases on EBay including these tokens. I really had no idea of their value but I have had good luck with the few I have bought thru the years. I usually make a few dollars on them. BUT on the 3 tokens from Utah I got the surprise of my life. 3 minutes before they ended they were up to 34 dollars and I was ecstatic. I watched them every few seconds till they ended and in the last 5 seconds they jumped to $1500.00.
    This has been my best find this year (actually the last 5 years that I have been doing this) by far, but before I put anymore tokens on the sites I try and do a little research first.

    $1500? Wow, they must be very rare and sought after.
    The only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky.
