First thing Friday mornin, I checked my eBay & ETSY listings. I found that I had sold two pens off ETSY . . . and to the same person. First time I've done that. That was the good thing. The bad thing was that somehow there was a double listing for the pen. She "bought" both of them. So I immediately emailed her to explain the problem. I figgered I would lose the sale. But after some back and forth emails, she bought the original pen and another similar one. Things were good again.
There was Friday estate sale advertised in the next town. I found a box of misc. Corning Ware for $10. Been a while since I've found anything for eBay. After a quick inspection in a dark room, I brought it home . . . a good thing. Upon further inspection in better light at home, I found several pieces that I may not list . . . not all that good. I'm pretty sure I'll get my 10 dollar back soon.
Saturday, I sold out of my Old Fashion Christmas Tree Ornament cookie cutter sets. Sold a record 86 sets this year. I think I could have easily sold another dozen sets if I had them on hand. It is bad that I ran out, but good that I sold so many. Not enough time to re-order for this year.
There was an auction at the local fairgrounds yesterday mornin. There were several things that caught my interest.
This old cook stove was interesting. I wasn't interested in bidding on it, it was just interesting to see something like that at this auction. That is what I like about auctions . . . you never know what you are gonna see.
I spotted a couple Corning Ware casseroles in their original boxes!! I've only spotted Corning Ware in original boxes one other time. Those boxes seem to indicate that the pieces were a bank give away. Who says banks only gave away toasters?? At the time I thought I was in on something good! Well, it seems that the heirs to the estate were buying everything and it didn't matter how high they bid. That was good for the auctioneer. I watched them fill an outbuilding with their purchases. I didn't bother bidding on anything at that auction, because when relatives start bidding on stuff, you might as well go home.
I out bidded one of those dreaded little blue-haired ladies and got both pieces at a reasonable price. I got one of those disgusted, 'dirty' looks when she gave up. Ya can't let kind of stuff bother ya . . . Upon further inspection at home, I'm pretty sure neither casserole has been used. They both have cardboard just in them from the packing materials. Gonna try to get them listed soon after I post this. My eBay link is on the left side if you are interested.
A bad thing happened at the auction . . . The auctioneer completely lost his voice after about 10 minutes of selling. All he could do was cough and sputter. It seems he had a cold, but didn't think it was gonna be a problem. He found another guy to sell while he went lookin for his voice. After another 10-15 minutes, he found it and started sellin again. Never saw anything like that happen till now. Don't know how long his voice lasted cause I left as soon as the stuff I wanted was sold.
Like I said before, it has been a couple days of good things, then bad things and good things again.
And now that I'm tryin to photograph the casseroles I bought yesterday, I find that all three of my camera's batteries need charged. How does something like this happen. I mean with three cameras . . .
