Title: Large Lladro Figurine
Post by: HomeGrownPromos on September 19, 2013, 02:29:07 PM: Spent $30 on a locker today for some clothing racks which my store needed. I was figuring I overpaid, but it was alright, because I needed the racks personally.

As I was digging through the one sterilite bin in the locker, beneath the Spongebob and Patrick plush.. Even beneath the Homer Simpson plush doll, and the Stewie plush, I found a Llardo Figurine. Makes the locker a home run, however, on $30, it's not like I'm set for life.. I've got it up on ebay now for $75/$150

Some years ago I got a locker formerly owned by a nurse. (she had died). It had a nurse Lladro too but in a different configuration. The only thing I really remember about it was that the exposed hand (one not holding something) was broken off at the wrist !

Put it on eBay and I think it still brought $40. There are people who mend them. Nice bonus for your fixture buy !

You spelled it correctly in the title of your eBay listing but not within the text...not critical since the title is what is searched first I think. It's just the proofreader in me !

Here it doesn't matter in the title of your thread. ;D

Nope, once a bid has been placed (congrats on the $75 start !) then you can not change the body of the text.

On the other hand you can change the title of this thread ! ;D
