I was looking forward to going to Goodwill this week and ended up being disappointed. I found one thing in the entire store. One lousy thing. Sure, I had picked up some other stuff but didn't feel like they were good sellers, so I put them back. I noticed another buyer checking out items on his phone and thought "Wow could you be more obvious?" I was also a teensy bit jealous because I have no phone to see if something will sell or not. I have to follow my gut or find the things I have sold in the past. Here is the item I purchased.
They look like brass but how do I know for certain? The biggest key is 7 inches and the smallest is 3. One of the Ebay groups I belong to (
Ebay Underground) is having a contest where you list one item at auction for a starting bid of $7. The three listings with the highest bids, win the contest. First prize is $77, second gets $50 and third is $25 I don't expect to win anything with these keys, but I think they will be my entry. Even if they only sell for my opening bid, I will still make a $5 profit. (not counting the fees)
Those keys would be great for an altered art piece.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your Goodwill trip.Hopefully that means you'll get something really good on the next visit(fingers crossed).
Becky,
ReplyDeleteBrass doesn't attract a magnet. They look like brass. Do they have a nice heavy feel to them?
Everyone has days like that! I walked out of the goodwill outlet with nothing today! I only allowed myself 20 minutes but i always come away with a tote bag full. Zilch today! I love your keys. I think they will be a great item to sell! Just got my new smart phone this past weekend from my adult kids. Plus they are paying for it for a year. Once you have one,it is invaluable!

ReplyDeleteI don't think I could buy a think without my phone. I have horrible instincts. Good luck on your contest.
