I know what you mean. It is really strange how things sell. I had a really nice piece of frankoma on last week and it didn't get a bid. I also had a bunch of fancywork grapes over bottlecaps that did. Go figure.

Sure its sad--when a scruffed up lighter sells more than a wonderful peice of glass. But it is a wake up call for all of us--sell them what they want! It ain't sad--it's learning
edited to add--never have sold clothing as a means of income--but plus sizes are doing quite well and starting to look at them at sales. Gosh--pass up a peice of carnival to buy the same dollar figure for mass quantity of clothing? Maybe

I know. It just amazes me everytime it happens to me. The problem now is--- my house is filling up with good junk, you know crystal, pottery, silver, etc. And the toy box is getting empty. Gotta go find more toys.
Isn't it sad when-----Someone will pay $5.00 for an ad cut out of a magazine, when they could get the whole magazine for $2.00.

Yikes--my sorta life story. Have literally hundreds of mags that I sold some about a year and a half ago--for $5.00 per issue--stopped selling when I realized the bidders were more interested in the ads than the mag. Now the quandray--slit em up and sell for the ads? So far--the purist in me can't do it! So--they sit in the closet waiting for me to make up my blame mind! Call me silly----but to slice up old vintage magazines for the ads amounts to asking me to sacrifice my first born. Sometimes--the rational decision doesn't equal the gut decision. Oh well--they are safe and put away. They aren't eating anything and getting more collectible by the year! Decisions---decisions---
