IKEA Dokument Waste Paper Basket

Today I had my second sale of a curb find since I restarted listing on line. A recent find from across the street. Nothing special, just a wire bin for little cash but the thing is the IKEA Dokument home office supplies line is out of sale so I thought someone might be interested. Mind you they had a triple document or letter tray that looks close to this one, that I currently have three of at the thrift shop and they just won't go. But moreover I hoped someone would just go for the colour. Well the young man that came to pick it up today looked normal, but somehow had the appearance of one who'd love candy pink. Just fine with me!

I also sold a cast iron pan but that was my own. But it looks like things are starting to move again. Must kick myself to get listed more. I still have enough stuff.

Sergio Rossi Men's Ankle Boots

From what I find on the current collection, Sergio Rossi men's shoes are currently around €650. The women's do up to €1300! From what we can get on clothing and shoes at the thrift shop I know that depreciation is high. Yet someone was very lucky to get this pair that was used but in for years to come condition at only €8,50. Found december 2016, I accepted this bid happily three months after.

Large Gourd Rattle Or Shaker

Pretty shaker made of a large sort of pumpkin I think, but no kind I recognize sold in places near me. Egg shaped measuring around 25 cm in length, simply but very nicely ornamented. Looked around on internet nothing close to be found. Found by my friend in her neighbourhood, 2016. I made someone happy in exchange of €2 February 2017.

Teddy Bear Bella Happy Horse

I thought I blogged about this before, because I clearly remember the sale. But it was still unmarked in my sales list. Anyway a young man came to my door and told me he was straight on his way to a little girl's birthday party. Turning three or four I'm sure she didn't mind not getting it in a box from a shop.

The stuffed animal comes in sizes from 22 to 150 centimeters. Mine was 70 (deducting now from the size of my table). I let it go very cheaply at €5, but I'm sure I did my research at the time and the prices in 2016/17 were different. But otherwise I think I was just happy to make anything out of it. But Bella new this size today is around €64, but I see discounters selling the 1 meter at €36, where other sites ask up to €200!. Weird how that can vary that much! Looking back I'm not unhappy about the deal.

Leg Shaped Plank

I can't remeber what happened to this object, but it came together with the fish planks that I wrote about in this old post. Perhaps sold at a market, but not sure. Who wants a stocking or tights display at a car boot sale?

Retro Kitsch Plastic Picture Frames

My dog walking neighbour brought me this frame, to sell not for the picture of course. Or maybe not. Because though a horrible thing in my point of view and it's all plastic (most likely made in China or so) it was pretty intact and where I had hoped for a bid of €5, within days someone offered €15 and payed quickly. I had to pack it up and ship it but no problem, costs covered. It sure made my day 2017-01-21!

A bit confused with this one. Also from my neighbour. In admin it says kitsch mirror from Xenos. But I find only this frame. No mirror in it.

Smaller, but with glass, and somewhat more tasteful. Found and sold €5 more or less same period.

Vintage Enamel Jug

Some people collect vintage enamel kitchen products, but then preferably with the mark of a factory, like Brabantia. This jug was of unspecified origin. But many people just love the stuff wether it's valuable or not, or even just retro (it flies out at the thrift shop). I belong to the latter. I would have kept this lovely green jug if I had place to store it. Because it wasn't decorating my kitchen, like my two really old jars and not serving any daily use. For me it took five months to sell because I guess it's more of a shop at sight product, but then finally I made someone happy in exchange of €2,50.
