I hit a real good one on Thanksgiving... yeah Thanksgiving!

Nice haul. The Fenton and Murano ought to bring good prices. The Bosson heads are hit and miss on fleabay but sure do get priced high in antique malls. People always freak out the first time they come in our house. Everybody says the same thing, "They look like they're watching me."
 

I got everything for $70.00. I listed a few of the better Bossons on Ebay and already have a $39.99 bid on the Fisherwoman and it's not even the rarest one. I think the Zapata and Rob Roy will do the best, the last Zapata sold for over $150 and you can't find Rob Roy listed for less than $220. It seems the newer ones seem to be worth the most. I think maybe they didn't produce as many towards the last few years they were in operation. I know they went out of business in 1996. My oldest one from 1966 doesn't sell for more than $20 tops. go figure. I think the Fenton ducks will do okay going by the completed listings, The vase maybe, I found one listed for $199.00 on another site, the murano fish is iffy, there is one identical on Ebay for $125.00, I listed mine for $49.99, so we'll see. I do know those Bossons are a pain in the butt to photograph decently. I felt like a photographer trying to get good photos of them to list. Condition is everything with them and most of them are in excellent condition, so good photos are a must. I'll update the final tally next week.
 

Nice Score. Thanks for the info. and photos. Congrats to you and the GF!
Gives me more ideas for things to lookout for this weekend. :)
 

My listings ended last night and here is the update as promised-
Totals for some of the better Bossons that I listed-
Fisherwoman - $118.50
Clipper Captain- $91.00
Rob Roy - $78.00
Zapata- $73.00
Victorian Bobby- $71.00
Fisherman- $36.00

The 2 Fenton Ducks sold for $22.60 each
The Fenton Vase sold for $49.00
The Royal Albert Shoe sold for $9.99

Just under $550.00 so far. Not a bad little haul so far for my $70.00 investment. I love it! Got a couple to go to in the morning before work, wish me luck.
