I really need to learn glass

[GibH]

Picked up a few things today, the best was a limited edition set of Zippo's. Paid $200 for them, but the last time this set sold was for well over $500. The lady I bought them from threw in this glass basket because she couldn't break a twenty. I was going to take a $5 flyer on it, but free is better. Found out it's Indiana Glass, not worth much, but hey it's free.

I thought I scored on the Fenton compote, but it is worth about what I paid, $10. I need to bone up on Fenton prices.

Sounds like you did real well on the Zippos. You have a picture of them?

I think the prices on Fenton are down right now. But common items to find that sell well; lamps, cake plates, vaseline color glass, cranberry color glass, burmese color.

If you don't want to jumble up your mind with a bunch of patterns. Its hard to go wrong with the above if the price is right.
