Vintage Fisher Price Kid's pretend washing machine and iron (comes with iron and hangers, not shown) and I also got a few bonus hangers and an iron that I have already sold on ebay last year for an additional $30
paid $10 for everything last fall at the consignment sale 
sold on Amazon for $125.00

Top Ebay Sale: 
star glass pendant light
paid: $0, left behind by a tenant at a friends rental 
listed for 2 days at $99
took a best offer of $70.00 

sorry, this picture needs to be rotated and brightened, but it's late and I'm tired!

Gotta love flatware:

paid 1.90, sold for $66.75 to one person, who came back the next week and purchased some more of the same design.  

Etsy: 
ok, this one wasn't a huge sale price wise, but I love to make money from things other people throw away. Got this for free at a teacher's garage sale. It's a big book (preschool and kindergarten teachers use these "big books" approx 17" tall for read alouds during circle time, so all of the children can see.) The cover was ripped to shreds and there were several pages with some damage, so I tore the book apart and listed it as a craft supply. It sold in less than a month for $20. Here's what the lady who purchased it said: wow! I've been looking all over for this-- my grandson's favorite book. I'm going to use the images for decopaging a chair for his room. thanx

    1. Thank you! Every year it gets better as I figure out ways to grow my business. 5 years ago I would have fainted at the numbers that now I worry aren't very much!
