Hi Audra,

They did do box lots here and many auctions do for smaller items but I feel differently. I don’t want a whole bunch of junk to find one treasure because I don’t want to have to find something to do with what I don’t want. I just want to keep it simple. LOL I know how hard it is to sell on eBay things from auctions. First given the price of gas, you have to consider that in your overhead and then shipping is crazy expensive and you are not going to sell for the highest price locally in most cases. Then packing, shipping and dealing with those who may file a Paypal dispute because of something not your fault is a royal pain.

That is great Ellen. Those old Electolux vacuums were workhorses. I remember well growing up with them and have two of them myself that I bought when you actually had the salesman come to your house. The art deco is just not my style but you are right they went for much more than $3.00.

I don’t like the ones put on weekly at auction companies where each item is sold individually. With estate auctions, small items are usually sold as “box lots” and you can sometimes find a treasure at the bottom of a box. Years ago I had my own antique booth and sold on Ebay. It was SUCH hard work and I never made much money. It’s hard for anyone to make money doing that in this economy. I prefer now to go to auctions and hunt for my favorite…vintage Christmas.

For us it started out of necessity- we couldnt afford to buy new and found out how cheap a washer/dryer , freezer, furniture etc went for. Auction going is something myhusband and I have in common. BTW pardon typos run ons I am in rehab for a broken hand and typing is still a chore.
I still have n electrolux vaccum I bought 20 years ago in an auction in the rain for $5 that runs like a top.
Like you I am seeing more and more doing the ebay game and for me it is less and less fun.
Oh- I LOVE the art deco lights, but I woulda bid maybe $3 a piece and I know thats notw what they went for!
