Hello all!

As you can see, I'm going off topic again today.

I'd like to share a bit about my reselling life. 
I know I've discussed it here before, but this time I'd like to share some of my best and wow sales.

 

My first big "flip" was for this 

Vintage SUNSET Needlepoint #5088 

Winter Wonderland StockingKit  

New/Sealed from 1982

I purchased that at the Goodwill for 1.49 and sold it for

$59.00!

(I don't appear to have saved my photo of this item. The exact name maybe a bit different, and the total sold price may have been a $1.00 more or less)

My next that sold for an amazing amount was a Kodak Portable Printer. I purchased it at the Salvation Army for $1.99 and sold it for 

$94.00!

This is my favorite item I have picked up so far. 

This caught my eye at the Goodwill. I flipped it over and saw that it was signed and was dated for 1926, just wo years before my parents were born, so, I bought it not even knowing what it was.

Through research I found that it was half an ashtray. A piece would have gone over the white piece with the hole in it. It would likely have held matches, and had a strip to light a match. 
I paid $3.99 for this German made ashtray (not even intact) and sold $104.00!

The best part is, it sold to a 

Bürgermeister (“town master”, mayor or chief magistrate of a German town, city, or rural commune)

 How cool is that?

Vintage Woodland Santa Stocking Crewel Kit 8069 by Dimensions 1989 Made in USA 

This kit came in a lot of needlework pieces that I purchased from someone on Facebook Marketplace.

I paid $10.00 for all the pieces, about 50 - 60 in all, and sold it, just it, for $150.00!

I'm not telling you all of this to brag. I just think it's cool that anyone can walk into a thrift store, go to a yard sale, or purchase something from Marketplace and make good money doing it! 

I of course have smaller sales. I'm packing this up today to ship out. 

Kurt Adler Pilgrim Thanksgiving Nesting Dolls 5 piece set.

This was given to me to sell. So, I have no money into it, and I sold it for $17.99!

Other sold items have included . . . 

Friends, if I can do this, you can too. Depending on how much you want to sell, this can be very time consuming. However, if you're downsizing, and you know some of what you have is too nice to throw out, just look pieces up. eBay is a good place to start. You can see what people are asking for an item, but you can also see what items have actually sold for!

Take a peek at my eBay and tell me what you think. I'm adding more and more every week. I have around 20 items now that I need to take pictures of so I can get them online.
