<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bdigger, post: 206299, member: 157&quot;]Congrats Lucille! It&#039;s funny how that stuff works.</p><p>Years ago. I was waiting for a friend to come over to go to a little indoor flea market in the next little town over. While I was waiting for him to get here, I was chatting with somebody online , and the subject of Alexandrite colored glass came up. I had never had any but had seen some before at a glass show, and I was telling him that I didn&#039;t think I would ever have any since at $150 a stem the price was out of my reach.</p><p>Long story short......While my friend and I were at the flea market. I ran across 4 Heisey Alexandrite Carcassone Water Goblets for $15.00. One had a chip, so it was free the others were $5 each. I couldn&#039;t get them to the check out fast enough! LOL They were marked as &quot;Purple Water Glasses&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another time I had sold some Heisey on eBay to a local buyer, and the buyer asked if I could deliver it(he would pay extra) since he didn&#039;t want to trust it to the USPS for fear of breakage. Since I was going by that town anyway the next day to pick up a friend and head up to the 450 mile yard sale, I told him I would do it.</p><p>Well, we went by to deliver the glass and got to talking, and soon we were talking glass, and he hauled out a BEAUTIFUL Heisey Cobalt Blue Cathedral Vase. ( A Rare and Beautiful Piece).</p><p>Lo and behold.....a few days later during the start of the 450 mile yard sale, we were in Kentucky, and this dealer was just starting to unpack. As I was walking by, he pulled out a Heisey Cathedral vase in Moongleem Green! I couldn&#039;t believe my eyes! If I hadn&#039;t seen one just a few days earlier I never would have know what it was!. I bought it for $60.....and sold it a couple weeks later for well over $700![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
