Here's me

eBay part 2

These are my second favorite mums in the yard. They have an antique look to them. My favorites are a creamy off white, with a dusty rose center.

The Roseville vase went for $112.50. Nice. I've decided that for items over $100.00, I'll include the insurance. I'll have to find something to list today. Stuff that I would think would go for $$$, doesn't. Both times, when the item sold, I have doubts about whether or not I should have let the item go. If someone else wanted it badly, maybe I should have, too.

eBay

I've decided that it's much easier to buy, than it is to sell, on eBay. I listed my first item about a week ago, figuring it might get about 5 or 10 dollars. It was a set of beer coasters - the kind you throw away. The winning bid was $138.50. So, flush with success, I listed another item today. It's an old Roseville vase, and it's pretty ugly. I took multiple photos showing all the flaws. It took forever getting the description just right, tho it looks like it took about five minutes.
So far, no one has bid on it.
I think I'll go back to buying.
I hope I don't get a bad feedback on those coasters.

I think this one is called Wild Pansy, 1910.

Dishes

There's a set of these dishes with twelve place settings, and all the serving pieces, under the buffet at 229. I always thought they were grocery store dishes. You know, the kind you get for $1.99 a plate if you spend $20.00. They appear to be mint.
Cher looked them on on Google, and before you know it, a price list from some replacement place came in the mail, listing what they'd pay me for individual pieces. Well! For the covered soup tureen, they'll pay me $116.00.
I guess they're prettier than I thought they were. :)

Nice

Keep this nearby

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Thanks to a lovely woman and, friend, for this.
