A few flea market pick ups - perfume, flashbulbs and a bottle

[treasurekidd]

I've been a bottle collector for years, and I do ok buying cheap at flea markets for resale on ebay. Got a nice one this morning, and old Thomas Russell, Plaineville, Conn medicine bottle that I've never seen before. it's got a nice touch of amethyst coloring to it, and it's going up on the Bay since it's not going in to my RI bottle collection. Also took a chance and picked up 4 packages of vintage Sears M3 flash bulbs, 48 bulbs total. I see hundreds of vintage cameras at yard sales and flea markets all the time, but my thinking is that the film and flashbulbs must be scarce. I also took a cue from Diggumup, who mentioned picking up some perfume, so I grabbed these 5 bottles for a grand total of .50 cents. Brands are Miss Dior by Christian Dior, Beautiful by Estee Lauder, Nokomis by Cody, 8E Jour and Ispahan by Yves Rocher. I know nothing about them, but my wife says they're all pretty good ones, so I think I'll do okay on those. I just listed all these this afternoon, so we'll see Thanks for looking!

Here's one I did well on recently. I picked this up at a local Salvation Army thrift store for $6.99. It wasn't new, but it was in excellent condition, didn't look used at all. Sold for $43.00, which I was happy with. New ones do even better, selling into the $60 range. Keep your eye out!
