<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4354933, member: 51"]No guarantees that I'd be the first to grab these, but they sat unsold for all 3 for $20 during two entire days of a local in person sale. Tomorrow everything is half price. I took a look at them about 30 minutes prior to closing and so expect them to still be there. The sellers had them in kind of an odd place where they may have been slightly overlooked, or maybe they aren't that great of a deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'd be buying for resale so hoping to get thoughts. They are fairly long for an ornament, going to say 10" or so. The wire on the top of each is kind of crude looking, and I'm wondering if they are missing a bit of the thinner wire you see on wire wrapped ornaments. All 3 only have the wire on the top as a way to hang them. They are mostly solid colored with some wear to the finish, but I don't think any are broken in any way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the pre-estate sale photo from online:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]361969[/ATTACH]</p><p>And a close up from cropping:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]361970[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>When checking Ebay I'm not really seeing any just like this sold that don't seem to have wire on the body, but maybe I'm not using the right keywords.
