Thrifty Tuesday Finds

Some stuff  I came across the last few days. Yesterday was pretty much a bust but I did find this vintage coat that I thought about keeping until I saw they can sell for $50+ I listed mine high with best offer.

I also found this Hi Ho Cherry O game from the 60's I was surprised to see all the cherries were there. I failed to notice one of the buckets was broken and repaired. Check out the sweet graphics.

Some stuff I found last week. Although I do not have any luck selling dolls, I had to rescue these Cabbage Patch ones. I spent more than I cared too Between $2.99 and $4.99 but look at those sweet little faces.

I thought the My Child doll was the one that sold for good money. Nope the ones with the cloth face sell better. I think I may have put Best Offer on her as well. The other two are CPK for toddlers.

.
Lil Miss makeup Doll from Mattel. Unfortunately, her makeup doesn't respond to water anymore but I wonder if any of them still do?

I keep telling myself no more mugs but I couldn't pass up this Sandra Boynton one or the candy container. Maybe I need to stop looking at the aisle until I can sell the 30+ I have listed.

I picked up another set of bookends, this time in Eagle design.

A kitchen plaque I could not resist and some glasses.

Sunday Auctions

I decided to clear out my old inventory so I listed 200 auctions. They ended yesterday. Most of my auctions ended at the starting bid of $2. I had 34 items sell for a total of $137.49 before fees. I made a few dollars on shipping but honestly, this was too much work for too little profit. Most of the items I shipped in a poly mailer and went First Class.

These were my highest ending auctions.

Coach Raina shoes starting bid $9.99 ending bid $20

Giani handbag $9.99

VTG Lipstick holder Starting bid $2 ended $9.50

Cabbage Patch Kids shoes Starting bid $2 ended $5.76 Buyer has not paid yet

Cabbage Patch Kids shoes Starting bid $2 ended $3.50

I had one buyer bid on 12 of my auctions. All those ended at $2 They were mostly Dream Pets.

The rest of the auctions ended at $2 to $2.50 Did I mention I hate running auctions. better luck next time

Send In The Clowns

No, wait. Actually, send them away. What is scarier than a box full of clowns? How about 2 boxes of clowns? I'm not sure what my DH was thinking when he bid on these at the auction. I just hope they don't come alive in the middle of the night and kill me. The one has a gun, y'all. A gun! Who in their right mind would give a clown a gun?

Box full of figurines:

plus a bunch of clown themed dishes

equals one hell of a nightmare. I'm truly convinced this fella is waiting for me to turn off the lights

and jump down from the shelf he is on

and murder me in my sleep. And if he needs any help, my DH also picked up a box of Cabbage Patch Dolls for a buck.

I'm telling ya, this is how the world is going to end with killer clowns and flesh eating Cabbage Patch Kids.


I won't fall asleep. I won't fall asleep. I won't fall asleep...
