Just curious, if you don't mind sharing what kinds of things you buy or sell. Smile
I started out selling (uggg, I hate to admit it!) beanie babies when I had my gift shop. And other collectible items from the shop. I've dabbled in some excess craft supplies I have around here, quilts and linens I didn't use, patterns etc. and odds n ends. I also have a second ebay ID that I use only for the Raggedy Annie dolls I make, and my Iris farm. I have them separate because I think listing newly made items with "stuff" makes it seem less interesting and valuable. Hubby sells golf clubs. And sometimes buys them. I buy antique powder puff music boxes. (I need to make myself part with some of the over 300 I have !! No space left in the cabinets!)And I look for craft supplies and fabrics. Sometimes just an odd item for the house, or an old toy I used to have. AS has helped me win alot of auctions and I was soooo excited to win a puzzle like one I had as a child.

I buy anything interesting that is a bargain but have four main collections: Anything Western from Charlie Russell (Montana Artist or F Remington- New York) From Paintings to Bronze. Celebrity Furniture Art & Musical Instruments and my favorite is Bogus - Quackery
Medical Equipment. Usually wooden boxes with a battery Inside that shocked you to cure a cold or cancer. I also collect and build stained Glass windows , Suncatchers & wind chimes.

Traffic light... I guess it would be nice in a hallway, but I don't have the ceiling height. Those things are bigger than they look from the car. I'd have to crawl under it.

Surprisingly easy for having over 500 moving parts. Add Subtract and Multiply to 15 places, and could divide to 9. A typical calculation with large numbers took less than 15 seconds. The hardest part was determining where the decimal went. (a mental addition or subtraction)

...the "small" ones have 8" lenses and the "large" ones have 12" lenses; more information that you probably ever wanted to know. Big Grin Actually, I do not have the heighth, and; come to think of it, I do not have a real hallway, either. If I ever do hang one in the house, it will be in the corner of the Florida room.

Hmm, I could use some quick easy cash for all these darn bills...... I can see I just need to get more creative!

One left shoe huh? For a one legged person??

You know actually, if someone were to sell the right hand only of the garden gloves I wear, I would buy them. For a very low price of course. I wear out all the right ones and have a pile of lefties!! And then, they might be waiting for me to sell them the lefties!! Razz

I'm all set, have a new 5KW generator on the porch all gassed up. Tonight is the 11th anniversary of the 1993 storm that is the reason I left my farm and moved here. I moveed in a vacant apartment with two dogs a cat and a pillow and my wallet. You should see it now.. But only getting 3 or 4 inches tonight but really heavy winds.
I had one little crocus busting its head up on the warm side of the house now its covered again in snow - maybe next week.
I planted 150 new daffodils - can't wait to see what they do. We have a McDonalds about 10 miles from me that has a staggering display of daffodils about May 10th to 15th. I don't know if any others have them.
The Philadelphia Flower show just ended, I usually go on a group bus trip there but couldn't this year due to dumb medical appointment I scheduled.
