Six Days

Six days without a sale on Ebay. What is one to do? Well, go shopping of course. Monday, I went to Goodwill. It is getting harder to find anything for resale as their prices have gone up quite a bit. For example, I used to be able to buy baby blankets for half the cost they are now. Since the thrift store by my house barely gets any blankets, I have no choice but to buy them at GW.

I found this Mickey Mouse baby blanket. Normally I will not buy Mickey as the market seems to be saturated but this was a Biederlack and they seem to sell for good money. I still have my large Mickey blanket from when I was a kid and those are selling for around $90. I would sell mine but it is in bad shape.

I also found this Marshall Fields blanket. There is only one other listed on Ebay that I could find and that seller is asking a ridiculous amount in my opinion.

I also picked up this new security blanket from Hallmark.

I thought these bookends were cool. Too bad they are not vintage or made in Italy as those were selling high.

The last time I sold one of these musical stages, the price had really dropped. I'm glad to see the price went back up.

Yesterday, I walked over to the thrift store with Robbie. He is in a Special Needs classroom and they did not have school yesterday. He found himself a Spiderman toy computer. He loves those things. As I was checking out, I spotted a Coach purse locked in the glass counter. Normally, I can spot a fake a mile away. This one however looked real. I asked to see it. My hunch was correct and it was real. I am trying to sell it on FB as Ebay is over saturated with them and all it takes is one competitive person to report it as fake. I'd rather not take that chance. If it doesn't sell, I will keep it for myself. You can join my FB group here. It is open to anyone and I will gladly ship if you pay for shipping.

I also found a blanket and some toys at the thrift store. You can view these items in my Ebay store here

Thrifty Finds

We went to Goodwill on Monday and there was this couple that were obviously resellers. They would grab something off the shelf and then look it up on their phones. It didn't bother me too much but since I don't have a phone, I wondered if what I put in my cart was already picked and researched by them? For example, this child's plate set. It looked like the couple were purchasing items that were new in the box so I wondered why they skipped this? I searched all over Ebay and haven't found any like this. It was made in 1987. The box says Top Gun F 14 child's plastic server.

I thought the Rock and Roll Mickey was a good seller so I picked him up. Maybe around Christmas, he will fetch a higher price?

I bought this Little Tikes doll house because it looked like there was furniture inside. They had a bunch of tape on it and I should have removed it to see what was inside. When I got to the car, it was pretty much junk but it did have one Little Tikes grandma doll. Ryker claimed this since it doesn't go for much.

Some of these Carter's dolls can go for big $$$. Unfortunately, this one does not.

I only found one other of these listed so I'm not sure it that is a good thing or not. There is nothing on Amazon either that I could find. It is by Little Tikes.

At St. Vinnies, I found a vintage Fisher Price fire truck, a Stewie doll and a My Banky pink cat.
