Ebay buyers still surprise me!



Well I'm selling off some of my misc stuff on ebay again. Check out my auctions at http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZucmba97
But I was amazed tonight when one 20 yr old 2 inch tall tiny china colt (brown baby horse above) sold for over $150. This is one of those things that my Mom said would never make it thru another military move in one piece when I was a kid. Well it was one of the few pieces that never broke. Another small circus horse sold for $80 (picture above). I once sold a Coca-Cola town square house (I paid $12.50 + tax @target after christmas sale) on ebay years later for $350.00.
I guess when you collect something you'll pay anything to complete the set. Me? I'm using the money to pay for Dogmo and my first ever cruise vacation (in November). I listed 13 small china horses last monday. Those 13 items sold for over $300 total. That's almost half the cost of the cruise! Anyway, Ebay buyers never cease to amaze me. One person's junk is another person's treasure. Ian't America Wonderful?? Wonder what hidden treasures I can sell next?
