Meh... Sales Down, Mood Down

But I did get a promotion for 2000 free 30 day fixed price listings. Now that is my kind of promo. I used the sell similar feature to re list a lot of my items that expired. I had a couple of items in my consignment shop box but haven't taken them in yet. If they don't sell by the end of these 30 day listings, I will take them in.

I found the holy grail of hot rollers today. Shhhh, my Goodwill still hasn't caught on. It's nice to see the Remington Tight Curls are still holding their value. Mine didn't come with clips.

I also found the Body waves but again, no clips.

I've done pretty well selling the Conair hot lather shaving cream dispenser and today I found the chrome version.

I found a couple of baby blankets and some lovies.

This lion clown is over 40" tall. I only saw one other listed. I hope that is a good sign.

The thrift store by my house has these bargain bags where you can get a Ziploc full of miscellaneous items. I found two wiggle worms in 2 different bags.

Yeah, one should probably not eat the candy with this Wall E pez dispenser.

Thursday's Thrifty Finds

I actually did not go thrifting today. These are items I found last week. Not much for resale but I did find a couple of cool things for myself.

Backwards clock. It's a little confusing at first but I had to buy it. My sister saw it and told me about it. I asked her where it was and she pointed to it at the checkout. I asked if it was for sale and they said $5 Do you want to buy it? I said sure I'll buy it and then the cashier asked me if I could read it. I said yes it's 2:20 which was the right time.

retro office chair

vintage carpet purse

chenille bedspread I wish I could get a better photo because it would probably sell if my photos didn't suck so much.

Handmade zodiac quilt

Fisher Price crib hugger doll. Her arms wrap around the bars of the crib.

Holly Hobby doll

Remington hot rollers Not the tight curls but should sell ok

Vintage pencil sharpener

Mickey Mouse yahtzee

some spice shakers. I wish I had the whole set

I normally do not buy Webkinz unless it is something I know sells for big money but I thought the Gold signature was worth more but I guess it depends on the animal. I got 2 chimps. (not big money makers)

I already sold this vintage cat. It had no tag so I was guessing at the price and accepted a best offer of $21.25

If you see anything you would like to buy, send me an email at krzi1@yahoo.com or check out my ebay store here

Garage Sale Finds

Instead of going grocery shopping, I convinced my sister to check out some garage sales I seen posted on facebook.  (Those sucked but the other sales were ok)

The first sale almost everything was priced a quarter. I wish I would have picked up some stuff there, but I wasn't sure if it would sell or not: floppy disks, an old slide projector($5) and some old magazines. I did pick up a container of mini erasers. I know the vintage ones can sell so I thought I would try these.

The second sale we found by chance. Sarah was turning to go back the other way and she spotted the sale. It looked promising with a bunch of kid's toys in the driveway. Unfortunately, almost everything was overpriced. $18 for a Fisher Price Musical table? I think not. Dude, you are selling your stuff in a driveway. Seriously! I did find a bag of Cowboys and Indians for Sarah and this Wonder Pets Fly Boat. I also bought that truck for Ryker in the first picture.

The sale on Facebook was next but didn't have much. Everything was well picked through but there were several other sales on the block so we stopped. I got some more hot rollers for .50 cents and two OCC coffee mugs for free.

I had to dig through a huge garbage bag of plush to find the Diego doll (for Ryker) and the four (one is not pictured above) security blankets.

The next stop I found some vtg My Little Pony. They are in well played with condition. I also picked up a Barbie car Ryker wanted. I wasn't going to buy it, but he threw it at the seller and the light cover fell off. It was an easy fix but the seller gave me that look so I bought it.

and at the last sale, I found a vintage puffalump with his shirt. I have sold two in the past for around $25.

Later in the day, I picked up a lot of Pocket Puppies off Facebook. This was the same lady I got the Kelly lot from. I'm wondering if she is figuring out I'm reselling the stuff on Ebay?

On Monday, I'm going to meet another person to buy a lot of Little Pet Shop. It's hard to tell from the picture but she says there are pets in there. Here's to hoping they are worth something.

Weekly Finds

My finds this week. Most are for sale in my Ebay store or will be.

From the consignment shop: Brobee Pillow Pal, Fisher Price Learning Letters mailbox, Peek a blocks wagon and Wilton Gingerbread Boy cake pan. The wagon no longer played music, so I already sold it on my Facebook group for $15. I kept the yellow divider to sell on Ebay as most of the used wagons are missing them.

Thrift Store Finds: I overpaid on most of this stuff and will no longer go back there. They have great vintage things but want to much for them. The puzzles are for Ryker.

These squirrels are just the cutest. How can anyone resist those fluffy tails?

 The little bear on top of the train case is an AC/DC Bear. Here is his back.

Goodwill Finds: I couldn't resist the Hello Kitty. She was the half off colored tag. I don't think she is worth much on Ebay so I am trying to sell her on Facebook. I'm not sure how well the hot rollers will sell but they were cheap enough to buy them.

Isn't that Snoopy mug awesome? It says Pardners on the back.

Goodwill Finds

Stopped at Goodwill today and found some owls, a watercolor, shoes for Ryker, pink Sing A Ma Jig, Minnie Mouse, and some more curlers.

Isn't this owl cute? My sister told me to turn around and there he was staring from the shelf. He is made of feathers and styrofoam?

Look at his big eyes. How could I not take him home?

I'm not sure what these two owls are made of. It almost looks like they have walnut shells for feathers.

I believe this is a watercolor but I am not an expert. It is signed Edmund Osthaus I listed it at auction to see what kind of price I could get. Some of his paintings are worth big bucks. I'm sure it's a reproduction because I could never get that lucky.

It has a mat but it is unframed. And whoever put it in the mat was so professional, they used address labels. I didn't want to remove the labels for fear of ruining the artwork

I thought maybe this Minnie Mouse was worth something. I have never seen these type of toys before. They are called Pook A Looz.

Ryker with his new shoes. They look almost brand new. Can you believe they only cost $2.99?

and another set of rollers. These are the Conair Ion Shine. It seems like I have been finding rollers every where. My closet is starting to become filled with them.
