EBay, Collectors, Flea Market & Antiques

small figurines have been hot this week, like Gobles. Small tables and heavy bigger pieces, I'm the one that has to load them out. Sales are picking up, as usual this time of year.
I bought a coin collection yesterday for $400. thought I could turn it over for $600. To my surprise, my trusted coin dealer found a couple of good ones in there and gave me $886. for the lot. A buddy went to the worlds longest yard sale and picked up a metal sign. It was made in 1990, too new to put in the mall. He paid $20 for it and had his daughter put it on Ebay and about fell over when it ran up to $1,100.

Seems more folks are selling than buying at the moment. A lot of people are down sizing, moving to smaller places, like retirement homes and older family members are passing away.
