LOOKING FOR THE BEST COLLECTIBLE DEALS.

My husband's birthday was this last weekend. As I was thinking about what to get him for a present, I reflected back on past presents I had given him. One of the things that I really loved was the Cairn gnomes in the golf genre. Since they are now in a box, I realize that perhaps they represent what I would like to have and not what he would like to have. Since he now has a collection of 4 of them, I now have a "collection" that I will try to sell. I will probably try eBay first since I have a lot of interest in eBay. I will let you know how it goes.

Went to an estate sale in our neighborhood the other day. Huge sale, but mostly priced way too high. But I always get a lot of good ideas of what is selling and what a "going" price is for them.
Some of the pieces that I was interested in was a small collection of children's toys. Oh, how I wish that I would have saved some of the toys of my childhood. If collecting toys is your interest, I found the following resources to help you.
