everything vintage/what is it worth?

Some of the grandkids...Merry Christmas!

I hope you’ve been shopping at eBay this Christmas! I buy more and more online each year. I know some people like the crowds at the mall and getting the chance to touch and smell everything before you buy it. But I like to sit in my pj’s at the computer and comparison shop and make my decisions without having to battle the traffic and the weather. I bought most of my son’s presents on eBay and Amazon this year. He wanted vintage video games and such (he’s 26). That was easy on eBay! I got some other electronics for other members of the family for a great discount too. Can’t mention what—I think some of them read this! I did a lot of shopping at Land’s End this year because I could have my girls look through the print catalog at my house and then I ordered online after they made some choices. Easy!

I sold a lot on eBay the last few weeks also. My new Italian leather gloves are a very good sell and I sold quite a few socks for your crocs—still have some of those left. I had about 15 Thomas the tank Engine playmats and now there are only 2 left. My specialty is of course, the vintage items and these sell great at Christmas too. My 3 FAVORITE FINDS this week are:

2. 1938 Lionel train catalog that I found in my husband’s old attic. Sold for  22.50. Also had 3 others from later years that sold between 12.50 and 22.50.

3. 1928 copy of sheet music “Shortnin’ Bread” that I bought in a pack of music for 1.00 the whole pack. Sold for 9.51 and there’s a lot more music in the pack! Cute illustration of an aunt jemima figure on the front.
