Yesterday was our annual Holiday parade. The store had a huge day. We have been selling really odd stuff. I sold 50 golf clubs that have been sitting around and collecting for 20 bucks. Why he wanted them all I don't know. Trunks have been the big seller. I sold three yesterday and two during the week. My mom has a box fetish and she was banned from buying anymore until we sold some of them. Sold all of the vintage telephones I had, grandfather clock, several pieces of glass ware. Truly stuff that doesn't usually sell this time of year. Furniture is more the norm for me right now. Not complaining though. Bring on the money!

Once in the last two years but it was jewelry. Scrapped for right under $2000.00. This was one of those units that you would have never expected to find this stuff in and proves that you need to go through everything! I found money and jewelry in coat pockets, purses, envelopes it was nuts but that is just how some people are. 

I am not a religious person, I don't go to church but I think most television shows have gotten out of hand. Duck Dynasty is one of the few shows on today that has morals and family values. Most of the current shows are all about sex, lying and cheating. Other stars have said a lot worse with no consequences. America is supposed to be about freedom. I am currently boycotting A & E because of this ridiculous move. We watch a lot of their programming and I will miss it but it is my freedom to make this choice.

I haven't decided but I sure would like to find out! 

I can't keep vintage receivers. I have a pair of new Bose speakers that I hook them up to. Usually they only last a week or two. Normally I sell most between $150 and $200.
Anything else sits forever. I have two really nice turn tables I thought would sell quick that are still sitting here after 6 months. They are not a loss though as I reclaimed them from the electronic recycle at the local storage facility. Another reason to make good friends with the managers.   

Having a store makes it so much easier to find the connections. Most of them walk in the front door. I have a notebook full of names and wants. My biggest problem being in a rural area is finding experts on certain items.

Lows for us here are going to be in the teen tonight and tomorrow. Grapes are all picked but lettuce, strawberries and avocado farmers are freaking out. Bring on the smudge pots.

I just recently learned about Bakelite bangles. They are worth more than gold, literately, if you find the right ones. I have one that I was going to put $5.00 on. Decided to look it up just for the heck of it. The same thing sold on Ebay a few months ago for $349.99. Mine is yellow and green. If it were black or white with the opposite color dots it would be worth more like $400.00. Makes you rethink some of that estate stuff. I'm putting it on my Etsy store. Hope to bring more traffic there.
