Christmas Sells!

A few months ago I made a dumb statement that I was going to sell all my vintage Christmas. First off, if you saw how much I have you would LOL at that because it would take me forever to try and sell it all. Secondly, and who didn't know this would happen, as soon as the season rolled around of course I wanted to keep every single last elf and bell I owned. But it's so cute! But look how good it looks in that display! But what if I never find another one??? All my excuses 😉

I did however manage to sell quite a bit. In the spirit of Christmas I will be honest and tell you that what I did sell was all purchased this year with the intent to sell. So my own personal stash didn't really shrink at all (and it may have grown just a wee bit bigger, whoops) I thought I would share some of my sales with you all. 

These two nutcrackers (so not my thing) cost me $20 each. More than I like to fork over but they were made in Germany and I thought I could GET RICH selling them. Notsomuch. They did sell for a respectable $65.00 each, but not enough to fund a week  long cruise in the Bahamas like I was hoping. Damn! 

I found this little guy (girl?) on the same trip and paid .99. He/she sold for $20.00. Ooooh foxy lady (dude?)

You may remember the box of knee huggers I scored over the summer for $5. This right here is why I love eBay. The red set sold for $73.00, the blue for $36.00 and the pink for $35.00 umm KaChing!!

I mean, I love me a cute knee hugging elf as much as the next guy but no way would I pay that kinda dough for some!

These flocked red guys set me back .50 each (at an antique store!) they sold for $30.00. Here's the sad part of this story, the lady messages me and said 4 of them arrived damaged (broken ears and/or tails) Drats! I refunded her $15.00. She was fine with that and I still made a few bucks. (Next time I will ship those suckers in a box not a bag!)

This was antique feather tree garland. I bought a big bag of it at an estate sale for $3.00. I broke it into 3 different lots and each lot sold for $25.00. This one kind of shocked me. First off, that stuff shed like crazy. Tiny red pieces of garland everywhere! Second, I don't think it's all that great looking. Just basic red garland, but it was old, and people love old crap. So good for me I made $72.00 (before fees of course).

The only ornaments I sold. Paid $2 for this box and it sold for $49.99. Note to self, don't sell ornaments. PITA to ship. 

I tried to sell this at Junk Ranch and nobody even glanced at it! Why not? It's freakin adorable! Well someone in Cyber space thought so too and shelled out $15.00 for it (I paid .50).

Yes, I was kinda sad to see this go. My aluminum tree that I just hadtohave! I paid $60.00, used it one year, and decided it wasn't really my thang. But maybe I would use it again??  I decided I like money better than I like a box in my closet and sold it for $110.00.

These cute little stocking were purchased from some equally cute little old ladies having a garage sale. I paid .50 for all of them and they sold for $20.00. 

Well I hope you enjoyed my Christmas Sells! roundup! What have you sold lately?
