    There is only one person after it and they are in the USA.
    There was a Japanese gentleman asking last time it was listed but didn't bid and so I reduced it this time.
    He was asking about size and may have wanted something more like a charger.

    They probably made one larger that's worth real $$$ and would be worth the effort to repatriate.

    Especially if you found it on the 50 cent table?!

    Yep. :)
    Was on the regular shelves for a looooong time.
    It is possible it was half that as well.

    Ruh Roh! You didn't get the memo? Never buy collector plates. They just never seem to sell. You really have to do research to know which ones have potential, but most don't. I forgot that rule last year and bought 12 Lenox Colonial Christmas Wreath plates, one for each of the original 13 colonies (minus one). They are soo pretty, but after 2 selling seasons, I have 10 left. So I've sold one per year, which my husband thinks is so funny. Next year, when everyone has forgotten about them, I'll stick them in an auction and hope that another Me comes along and buys them.

    they were also the reason i bought the set of 12 in the first place :) the villeroy boch stamp on them are almost identical to the one they used between 1874 and 1909 acording to porcelainmarksandmore.com :) there are still 4 days before the one i have for sale at the moment ends, so maybe someone else will bid as well :D
    i just packed it in advance and dang xD the scale down at the post office better be tuned well, because im 3 grams away from it being too heavy for the 15$ shipping

    I hope so too!
    Harbor Freight has electronic scales cheap, specially if you use their 20% off coupon you can find everywhere. :)

    ohh sorry i misunderstood :D i thought you meant that harbor freight was some sort of shipping offer :) i have a very good scale myself, but thank you :)
    and shipping is expensive, i suppose because no one really uses the post offices as much any more... and the fact that the post service is a company owned by the government and they have monopoly on the post services :S if they would open trade on that service, Deutche Post would open branches in denmark and completely take over the market with their delightfully low prices :D i think they are actually some of the cheapest post service in EU? well, i just know we are the most expensive :S

    HF is a company here that has mostly Chinese stuff. :p
    Our UnitedStatesPostalSservice is essentially government and seems to always be struggling for $. But that is because those in government pilfer the USPS funds for other things all the while saying; "Look at that dancing goldfish"...or some other distraction, and then it's that the USPS is not making enough money. :p

    p.s. I pay for 99% of my shipping online and so most of the time I can even catch my mail carriers and they take packages from me without a trip to the post office. :)

    we have a funny way of alternative stamps here actually :) our post service have a smartphone app, where you can pay and then recieve s code that you litterally just write in the corner of the letter and thats it. it costs the same as a normal stamp tho, i would have prefered it to maybe be a bit cheaper as it saves them the manufacturing and distribution costs on stamps... but hey, small steps at a time~
