CASH FOR TRASH WEDNESDAY 10/31/12 plus eBay End Of Month Sales

Cash for trash is a posting on some items I have sold this last week on the Internet. These items are not really trash but used items I have found,bought and sold.
Recently I bought a large group of vintage bras and girdles at an estate auction. Within the last few days I sold a beautiful vintage bra from the 1950s on eBay and it is on its way over seas. Another one is staying within the US. This is a Cotton Bra sold on eBay. And I was able to sell a second vintage men's suit. This one sold for $29.99. The first one sold for a buy it now price of $60.00.

Another great item these last week have been vintage cookbooks.  Here is a vintage White House Cookbook that sold for only $5.00 but came in a group of cookbooks so I know I did make some money.
Total sold on eBay in October is $744.59 gross. Are you selling on the Internet to supplement your family income and if so how is it going?

Thanks for stopping by for Cash for Trash Wednesday and Happy Halloween every one. Be safe.

ORPHAN PHOTO # 118 Men and Their Fish Vintage Snapshot

Here is a funny old snap shot, no date but probably around the 1940s or 1950s based on clothing they are wearing.

We have a total of 18 men standing on this dock holding their caught fish. One man is in the back of the boat. Some of these men are wearing ties how strange is that?
Sadly no names to location on the photo so can not get any help to who they are or why they are all standing on a dock.

I am sharing this on Sepia Saturday of UK take a peek at what others are sharing tonight.

CASH FOR TRASH WEDNESDAY 10/11/12

Hubby and I love to hunt garage sales, thrift stores and auctions for treasures to resell on eBay, Etsy and the Antique Stores.

Some of our highlights this last week on eBay have been vintage foreign postcards. I bought these a few months ago and finally got to them. Boy am I happy I took the time to work on them for eBay.

The postcards were in vintage black scrap books that former owner displayed them in.

290 + VINTAGE early 1900s Postcards w/ album England, Switzerland Germany France sold last night for opening bid of $49.95 plus shipping.

360 + VINTAGE early 1900s Postcards with album France, Spain Black White Color sold for $122.00 a little over a week ago.

I bought these a few months ago at an estate auction and do not know exactly what I paid but I do know there is a great profit between these 2 post card albums. Plus I have 3 more  albums with post cards to list for sale in the near future.

Well thats it for now. Another day and another dollar to make. Thanks for stopping by. Grace

DO YOU NEED TO BUY NEW OR CAN YOU BUY AT A GARAGE SALE

I know several people who turn their nose up at buying something at a garage sale or even a thrift store.  I love to shop all of the above plus flea markets.  What I do not like is malls and big stores even more.
I can spend hours at a flea market and at the mall I am in and out as soon as a possible.
Just a few weeks ago we were visiting the twin cities to see family and friends. Of course part of the time is spent at garage sales.  We are always on the hunt to find items to sell on the Internet or Craig's List. I have to admit I do not use Craigs List enough.

Back to my hunting, we were towards the end of the day when I spotted a garage sale down an alley. One of the first item I spotted was a bread maker that looked almost new. Just the day before my girlfriend Al had made us home made pizza using the bread maker to make her dough. It was the best I had ever had and I could imagine making my own pizza at home.
We have made about 8 loaves of bread, no more store bought bread in this house but have not made the home made pizza as of yet.
Here is a picture of my bread maker and one of my loaves of bread. Well worth the $20.00 spent.
Do you have to buy new or do you buy used if possible?  Grace
