<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9741433, member: 36"]The estate sales here aren't what they used to be, and tag sales only happen in any quantity about six to eight weeks of the year. As long as I buy/sell at hobby level it's OK, but I wouldn't want to make a living at it. It would help if I were in physically better shape, but medically I"m knocked out of some sales just by their location and altitude. Literally can't go there. With the MS getting worse, I need to stay away from sales when it's too hot and humid out too. Found that out the hard way last year. </p><p><br /></p><p>Today I went into the ReStore and looked a bit. Saw a big glass swan with a Murano tag. The $75 price tag was probably fair, but I wouldn't want it for myself and for flipping locally the price would have had to be more like $40 or less, because that's about what I'd get from an antique dealer I know. The brand's more elaborate items sell for $300 and up, but ... left it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
