I bought a 6" stack of old Post Cards at an auction for $3 a while back.
Didn't know exactly which would sell - but did a little research.
Took photos and posted around 50 of them. 
I had two go for over $20 each and probably a total  of $200 on the bunch.  I repost the remainder whenever I have a free listing special.
Yea - some sold for only $2.00 but you never know which one will take off.

I buy quite a bit at 2 local Auction houses.

1, I buy around $200-500 per Saturday night.
2. I have been gettting $900-$2000 per Monday night.

Mixture of Furniture, knives, Furniture, Toys, Small Appliances, Furniture.

Bought 50 HP Printer Cartridges for $150.  6 days later all gone for total of $1250.

Knives go into my convenience store.
Furniture - all wood, we Chalk Paint and resell at silly prices.
Coffee tables - $3-$13  Sell - $75-125
Side Tables $3-10      Sell $30-50
Beds $7-30      Sell $50-250
Dressers $10-30     Sell $75-285
Tables & Chairs $5-45    $100-300

Best part - my 11 year old Son loves to go, so it is something we do together and maybe he learns something.

So I guess I suckered myself this time.
This is happening to collectables every day.
Like Howdy Doody. The folks still around that remember him are past their collecting days and soon very few will remember him at all - worse yet, with the speed of change of technology - a lot of "youth" really don't even understand.

I explained that are policy was to ship only inside USA. But would quote him the best price I could find to Finland. Suggested that I thought that was pretty high and that if he wanted to, we could both withdraw.

He thought that'd was the best idea.  That was the end.

I just reviewed my Shipping policy.
Says United States Only.

So, I will figure the International Shipping and send invoice at that level and see what he does.

I probably missed the exclusion not to let him bid in the first place!

Today, I sold an Item on eBay.
I clicked on "Print Shipping Label"

Turns out it is was someone I know, right here in the County. (NOT a pick-up only item)

Two other times - I was selling "no longer working" restaurant equipment.  Guy I know from the next county over bought both - a year apart from each other.

Anyone have same experience?

YuupFL -

That is what I saw yesterday.  The longer we hung around 'talking' the more I could tell that SHE was doing her best to sell it to me and be DONE with it!!
She had totally decided she did NOT want to sit out all weekend and sell for a $1 here and there. AND then, move have of it back inside!

To some, I think this would be a great relief.  To others - it would ruin their FUN!
