When you can't find the gold or silver then you have to try something different

[HistoryTeacher]

Been slim pickin's for precious metals around here so that's when I try to work into a new area about which I know little. I got my first piece of pottery for resale. Its a soup bowl with a frog on it and some clear markings that look like an "H", a leaf and Pitts? (it was $2). I figured animals make anything a little more desirable. I know it is hard to pin down studio pottery since there are so many artists out there, but I would appreciate any advice you might have on pricing it or key words to use when listing it.

I also picked up a bag of 70 Skylanders (video game accessories) for $8.00. I sold a little larger lot than this last year for $160 but the market is starting to decline as kids outgrow it so we'll see.

Sorry I've nothing more exciting than this.

I can’t tell the size of the bowl - but it looks like a shaving mug to me, not a soup bowl.

Completely agree with you on the expansion issue - the PMs are great when ur buying what you want - but when I’m looking to make X dollars in X time (say for a trip), I’ll buy anything I think I can buy for $1 and sell for $25 or more. Only way to do it because we cannot control what’s available to buy.

I compare going to thrift stores like gold prospecting. There are lots of things you can make a little money on, just like there are lots of places that have fine gold where you can make some money with some hard work. but every so often, you find a nugget! Lots of money, with just a little work.
