For myself, I found a few bargains to resell, but nothing to such amount of profit. Once I was in a small Church OP Shop, found a couple of small things and on the way out, standing at the counter to pay for my purchases, one lady was unpacking a box of glassware. She put an unusually patterned Genie bttle on the counter and I asked how much they want for it. She looked at me questioningly and asked; "Is $3.- to much?" I told her I'd give her $5.- for it and took it home. Listing it on eBay, I did not have much hope of making a big profit, but for me every dollar counts. It ended up selling for $158.- and I did a happy dance. This was my biggest sale on eBay.

Oh dear.

My sister & I had a stall at a Rotary market last November. We had to clear out a lot of stuff from what used to be the family home after my brother died.

There was a genie bottle in orange that used to be mum's, we sold it for $5, hadn't been sure to even take it. A friend later told me they fetch decent prices.

I think I have the knack of underselling.

It was on page one and 6 in the Latrobe Valley Express.

They even named the item as a dildo-think thats Latin or French

for what i know as a...Bob........................................................................Richo.

Where is your class Richo? All the best ppl call them Robert.

At a recent Collectables Fair in Brisbane \i bought a handsome but tarnished Silver Serving Dish.

Elegant square rounded shape with beautiful lines and a fitted lid. Darling little feet on it and \i was enamoured.

Bought it for 15 dollars with intentions of drilling holes in it and planting a herb.

Showed my Mum and as she does she turned it over to look faor a mark.

Hardy Brothers 925.Sterling Silver.

Polished and sitting on my sideboard!

I can't say i have ever found anything worth big dollards from an op shop

i used to go a lot but rarely do so now

 the op shops are to dear well there are where i live

a friend of mine once told me that they have upped their prices to stop people from having garage sales and also to stop people proffiting from things bought there.

Yes the prices got a bit ridiculous at our local salvos. I mean $5 per item, c'mon.

But back to normal now.

they are more than 5.00 here some clothing is 20.00

most jumpers are 10.00 and at least 8.00 for a shirt
