On-Line Auction Finds 7.20.2017

There have not been many garage sales or auctions lately, due to the excessive heat.  So an on-line auction was welcome.  I bid low, and carefully, because I am trying to "clear out".  Looking for: EASY on the pocketbook, EASY to haul, EASY to get ready to sell, EASY to sell. Here are the few "EASY" items that I ended up with:

 I didn't mind the white spray paint as much as the permanent 
marker on these six sewing machine drawers.  I like the assortment.

All I did was a bit of light sanding to
get rid of the sharpie marks and bring out the details. 
Bought for $12, sold for $50.

 The document box had duct tape over the top....

It took some scrubbing with goo-gone,
but turned out cute.

 I didn't have to do anything to this metal tool carrier,
I even left the old wrenches in it.

This will be an ebay item.
Hard to tell, but it is a rations box from WW2 or Korean War.

 And another tool carrier.
I added matching gray paint to the ends.

 And added one of my wall adhesives.

  1. I like them. I'm thinking about ebay or etsy. I have things, I want to get rid of. I know that trying to garage sale them would be pointless.
    I'll have to read how to sell on them.

  2. the rations box will go on ebay. but everything else i will try to sell at my booth at a "decorator mall" (old, new, repurposed all under one roof). if you have a place like that it is a good way to get started.
