Milk Glass Coffee Mugs & Cross Stitch Kits
This was a fun auction. In the past I have listed individual mugs and done well. The ones in this lot have been losers when listed individually. It happens. Shipping costs continues to rise and so very many people are struggling financially. I decided to gather all the mugs I had and list together. There were 13. I paid $0.10 - $0.50 for each one. The auction ended at $55.00. Click here to view completed auction.
I picked up 8 new/sealed cross stitch kits at the local flea market for $1 each. Three sold for $4.99 each, (profit after fees $7.83) one for $6.79 ($4.20 profit after fees) & I have 4 more yet to sell. One didn't sell and will go in the store. Link to completed auctions. Not huge money, but it took 10 minutes for me to do the listings & pack for the 8 so I am happy. That is $12.03 for ten minutes with more yet to sell. I never include my shopping time as that is something I do for pleasure. That flea market is about 2 blocks from my home so no travel expenses either.
UPDATE: I sold another one this afternoon for $9. Link here.

Thanks for posting this. My father used to collect milk glass. His fave was the white vases with the bumps.
I have tried to sell cross stich on Etsy (homemade stuff/supplies) but haven't had much luck. Maybe I'll go to ebay.
By the way, I love this blog! Keep up the great work! It will catch on!
I must digg your post so other people can see it, very useful, I had a tough time finding the results searching on the web, thanks.
