Jackpot !

About a week ago, I was perusing one of my Pyrex reference books. A photo of a couple bowls that I had on the shelf caught my eye. My bowls were the same size and pattern that were shown in the book. It seems that these bowls were sold as a 'Chip & Dip' set. All that was missing was a metal rack that held the smaller (for the dip) bowl above the larger (for the chips) bowl. I had been keeping them, figuring that sooner or later I would find the in-between sizes and would sell them as a set. I usually get $20 to $25 for a set of 3 or 4 bowls. I don't know when or where I bought these bowls or how much I paid.

I decided to sell them as a 'chip & dip' set and started bidding at $8.99. I did well! Twenty bids later it was sold. A little research and the proper description can go a long way! Still tryin to figger out how to do this a lot more often.
