All of these items came from one garage sale and an hour at an auction:
I generally have a hard time selling middle of the road glass light fixture shades. But there was a stack of FIVE at the garage sale for $1. I ought to be able to make some money off of those. Love the art deco one in the center.
I got this great set of eastlake brass door hardware, one of my faves to put on ebay.
Paid $3 for all, sold on ebay for $47.
I bought 13 porch posts, for $5.
I am trying to buy things that guarantee a profit.
Sold for $29.
Two old windows, always a guaranteed seller.
Paid $1 each.
Metal porch swing -- paid $8. You will have to picture it right side up, sandblasted, painted, and hanging on a porch somewhere in the Ozarks.
UPDATE: Not just "somewhere" in the Ozarks, but on my own front porch.
These two porcelain light fixtures came from the auction.
They will end up on ebay.
Oh, I would have hauled all of those home. As a matter of fact. I have some of those very things already.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds ... Love the porch swing.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds--love those door plates! Thanks for sharing @Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteLove the doorplates; I have seen them on the front of decorative birdhouses; it would make a cute coat hook using a pointed board and then using the knob as a coathook. The light fixutres are fun to upcycle; a battery candle in the blue one, metal stand under another with small river rocks or white marble pebbles and a collection of differing height candles...I think outside the box somemtimes;sometimes it is easier with other people's stuff!
