<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 9617538, member: 13464"]I have gotten extremely lucky at finding great old baskets. I think most people just can't tell the difference. Got a child's berry basket one time for something under $2.00 and sold it for $80. I'm researching one right now - I believe to be 1880 Ikebana which I purchased for $1.25... if I can figure out a few things it may go for big bucks! I love baskets, but I usually don't keep the old ones unless they are very functional and intact... as I use them. </p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
