Box Lots At Auctions "Love Them"

I am always a sucker for the Dollar {$1} box that no one wants at the auction. It is like treasure hunting for me.

As the Auctioneer rattles off his cadence, starting High then getting to $1. "who will give me a dollar, who will give me a dollar, Dollar anyone, anyone, One dollar"

He looks around and just about as he is going to say no sale! I way my hand and snatch it up. Now the wonder begins. Do I own a box of garbage that other people have picked through all the good stuff and just did a "recycle" with the junk?

I say to myself, what do I have to lose, it's like buying a scratch off ticket.  Well, like gambling when you get lucky and find a sweet prize in that box of junk, it only makes you want to buy more boxes and take a chance.

This time I think I got lucky and over the years I have learned to look closer at the dollar  boxes.

My best find this weekend was this ES Lowe Chess set, it looks like Bakelite and sets are selling for $25 on line without the board.

So I just cleaned it up and I will let you know what happens.

Back from France video

Hi everyone, things have been super busy with getting the shop opened and building up the business.
Awhile back we took a trip to Antibes France to see what type of Flea Markets and Yard Sales they have.

It was like an Antique show every weekend, all the items had age to them. I wanted to bring everything home with me.

We put together a short video just to give you an idea and over all it was a great time and I highly recommend the trip.
