She only made 2 buys but they both look like big winners. First are these Lite Brite pegs:
There are about 850 pegs in this bag. She paid $1.00 for them. Prices for these on ebay are all over the place but I think she will get at least $30 but maybe as high as $60.
Her other buy was this set of crystal glasses:
I'm going to claim partial credit for this buy. This was the last sale of the day. She was tired and didn't want to get out of the car so I went to take a look. We have had a set of the goblets for years. A couple of years ago, one of them got broken and my wife has wanted to replace it. When I saw these, I wasn't sure if the goblets were the right size so I didn't know if she would be interested in them but I went and got her to take a look anyway. I was a bit shocked when she offered to buy them all because we don't have any of the champagne flutes or the tumblers.
Turns out she has been looking for her missing piece on ebay for awhile and knows the prices for this pattern very well. These would be a good item to put on your "keep an eye open for" list. These glasses are unmarked so if you didn't know what you were looking at you might easily pass them by. I would have. These are made by Mikasa. The pattern name is Titan. Take a look at the sold Mikasa Titan pieces on ebay and you will find out what a great buy this was. Oh, by the way, she paid $20 for all of these.
Here is my pitiful contribution to the day's efforts:
That is a large Pyrex bowl. Very nice condition but I will be doing well to get $20 out of it. Paid $3 for it.
The good news is, I sold $185 worth of stuff over the weekend. Kicked her ass in that department!
