Hema Christmas Tree

I posted about the box a while ago, decided to sell the content, a small christmas tree, after all. Because this time of year sure fire money for me. Listed November 10, sold today €5, quarter of new price. Forgot when I found it, but it was in front of my door somewhere earlier this year. See new product here.

Ordex Magazine Basket

This is a brand sold by Lidl, and it all costs next to nothing. Poor chance selling it on line. Couldn't find out how I lost it but finally found out on old paper admin I sold it on the last market I did with my friend, August 2018. Before in 2019 she had a hernia and burned herself holding a pan of boiling water. Then 2020 Covid came and there were no markets. Then she finally got retirement money from the government. And I was working almost full time again. And that's why I don't do markets anymore.

Got €1, good enough for what it is.

Foldable Storage Box

I still have this. Unsold after trying for a short period in 2018. The box is intact, but the surface shows wear. Possibly a cheap Action or other 'one dollar' store product and people expect perfection or will otherwise buy new for not much more.

Holding stuff now I didn't look at for years.  Decided to send it over to thrift shop this week. Too bad because I like it, but I shouldn't be needing extra strorage boxes taking place anyway. Will be a challenge to empty it, but transport will be easy as I can undo the poppers and make it flat.

Danish Silver Spoons

I found these early 2016 in a bag with other small kitchen utensils. Had them for sale for a short while but quickly gave up. Because the the chances of finding a buyer who'd take them for another guy named Luc were neglectable. They rested in my kitchen drawer ever since until earlier this year. When I found that a collegue at the thrift store gets money for silver plate at a jeweller's if brought in larger quantities, I donated my set for the shop. Being hardly used and of heavy quality it must have made us a couple of euros.

1960's Rattan Table And Chair Set

I'm soon running out of things to show from the past. Something I can't find the photo's of, something I can't find how it sold. It will maybe come back along the way.

For now I dive deeper into the past. 1984, my first tiny attic apartment of my own in Amsterdam. I was a curb shopper at heart already, but still hesitant. Coming home from parents one Sunday night I couldn't resist this. I had seen the same in classmates rooms in my childhood. My room was left side of a narrow hallway. On the right there was storage for people from other floors downstairs. But at the end of the hallway there was a wider place by the front window. Where on sunny summer days in the afternoon I could sit in the sun. I placed my set there and then called it my 'terrace'. Of course this picture is an example, but I'm surprised it can still be found sometimes and is of Dutch make!

The set went with the Man and me to the next apartment, but after that I don't remember. But sure had it for years.

IKEA 365+ Mysa Duvet / Synthetic Quilt

I didn't really expect to sell this on line, and then with it wrinkled on the photo's, but I gave it a try. Quilts like these are fairly inexpensive but it turns out there's always the one person who can't afford the new price or for another reason doesn't care to choose for new, what you'd expect from most people if it comes to bedding. 

I was happy to sell mine €5 after four months. Surprised to find one almost the same (difference only the warming quality) currently on Vinted over €26. I wish them luck!

1970's TV Or Table Base

I found this in Fall 2016 in front of my door and despite the wear on the paint I thought it should have some value. The plank mounted on top was obviously done later. What was originally there is unsure, but I was convinced it must have been as special thing for a TV because I have seen those in my childhood, though a coffee table top could have been a possibility. It took almost a year but then it made me €22.

Little Tikes Yellow Toy Dump Truck

If I remember well I picked this sturdy toy up a few blocks away while cycling around in broad daylight. And it was still full of sand after being used on the beach. Easy to clean and one little boy happy I hope. Sold within weeks after listing €5.
