<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 567130, member: 88&quot;]As I said in another thread I have been buying a lot lately. We have been selling the estate of a lady whose husband had a very high paying job &amp; she thought her job was to spend it faster than he could make it.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie45" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> We have actually been selling stuff on &amp; off since December. The thing was she didn&#039;t buy stuff to enjoy seeing around her house, she bought just for the sake of buying &amp; if she liked it she bought all they had at the time. The majority of the stuff went directly to a warehouse they owned where it sat until it was hauled to one of 3 auction houses here in Columbia. Most of the stuff still has price tags attached &amp; some was still in the shopping bags that she carried out of the store. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway Tuesday night was table lots &amp; shelf lots of stuff. I ended up buying 13 lots of various sizes &amp; quantity. It actually took 3 loads in an SUV to get it all home. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> My treasures from Tuesday were a Towle sterling porringer &amp; baby rattle </p><p><img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1024932409_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1024932427_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> and a Waterford Christmas tree.</p><p><img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1024932424_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> I got this table for $25.00 because the 2 sterling pieces were in a taped up box that I thought, &amp; probably everyone else, that it was just another piece of Christmas stuff. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /> The tree was buried under a bunch of ornaments &amp; it is not going anywhere other than into the tote with my collection of Waterford Santa figurines to await this Christmas.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Two other things may or may not be big money makers, but were surprises to me when going through the various boxes. The first is a c.1940? B&amp;W photo of lady all decked out in her ski outfit &amp; a Kut Hing Pewter Swatow swing out trinket box. <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1024932435_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/1024932438_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
