Yeah, that's this months special for people that don't list much.
No FV fee for all your free insertion listings.

List all those smalls that fees eat up profit!

This was the only one I saw that it seemed like your average people shooting the sh*t about auctions.

The others it seemed either it was people with an agenda for being on the forum OR it was a billion newbies asking the same stuff over and over......
There wasn't any real world discussions.

Plus the format.  This style of board is pretty easy to navigate.  Simple. Nice break down of threads.
 

Lot of chips, that's not good.

Any markings on back?  "House of Wongs - Free Delivery" is a bad sign......

Is it translucent? Hold up to light, does any light show thru?


Ultimate test: Throw it against a wall.  If it breaks its not worth anything.....well, now its not worth anything.   

I've run into the same thing.  No advice here, sorry. 

I was just at an estate sale and these two guys were going crazy over the bottles.
He had one and was saying how rare it was.  Next to it was one he said belonged in the recycling.
They looked identical to me!

Same with Lab Glass.  I can't tell new from old.  One estate had stuff marked between $20 and $A-sh*t-load.
It was being grabbed up like crazy.   

The stuff at he university's surplus store looks identical, sells for $2-&5, and sits there....? 

I'm going with that they may be place card holders.  You know, put your guests name by plate....
Can't really tell from the lone picture.  When standing up how tall are they?   What's the thing off the side?
............................l

Can't find those but a general search comes up with Bombay place holders at $35/4set
Reselling at $10-$15 range. 

Good news, Bombay is a well known high end store.
Bad news, if they are place holders.....if you can't find more, who needs just four?

I think I'd try selling those on etsy.  Seems more those people's style.   



........

I hate it when that happens. 

Actually it worked out well.
Went to an estate sale and they had the torch I need for $3.50, retail $40.
And the dowel I need....well, close....it will work.  But free rather than a couple bucks.


Three times in the past few weeks I've bought something then see it at he next set of estate sales I go to.  So finding it *before* I buy it retail kinda made my day!

Asked the Home Depot guy how many double wall mounted ovens he sold and his best guess was 1:250.
So one for every 250 stand alone/range top models.  He's been there 10-ish years and ha sold 2-3  personally that he can remember.

Also said it was usually to Contractors. Not DIY home improvement people.  They are just to hard for your average person to install.  Or rather SEEM to be to hard.

He did add a disclaimer....

That store is primarily DIY stuff.  Not contractors.  It's in an area with older homes so probably not to many wall mounted ovens.  And since they are big and expensive, items like that are usually bought online or by phone.  Most stores don't even have a display model on the floor.

Also said double ovens "are out".   People don't want them.  If one goes out you need to replace whole thing at a huge price difference and people find they use two ovens at once like...never. Maybe on holidays. Plus contractor are trying to utilize every inch of space and they take to much room, so now if they go for wall mount its the convection oven under a microwave.....that way you have more counter space.   

I talked to this guy for a good 20 minutes bout ovens.  I know more about ovens now that i care too. Then went and looked tools, forgot why I ws there and came home with out buying the doweling I went for in the first place.....
