[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 28296, member: 37"]cxgirl said; [I][FONT=Courier New]"@@verybrad what kind of ornaments did you buy?"[/FONT][/I] Most of what I bought in the auction lot were post-80s collectible ornaments. There were a bunch of Hallmark ornaments, other made to be collectible ornaments, some Dept. 56, and 5 Radko and several Radko Shiny Brite ornaments. There were a few old ornaments from the 50s and 60s mixed in. I think I got about 100 ornaments for $8.00. Since then I bought a bunch of modern figural blown ornaments and any older ones I could buy at the thrift stores. For example, I bought a box of tweleve 60s Shiny Brite ornaments for $4.00 last week. I bought quite a few vintage 60s-70s ornaments that are marked Germany and West Germany as well. I also bought this lot of 27 ornaments on ebay. There were two Radko ornaments in there, a Waterford, and several other nice ones making it well worth the money.
