Not much stuff, but decent finds.

For $5, cast signed “Cats” poster, value $90 - $200


For $4, ND bobblehead, value ~ $50


For $10, 1969 JW Dent bourbon decanter (full)


For $1, vintage Gucci frames, value $100-$150


My values are based off the same thing that sold for on eBay.

Can you update some of your posts with what you actually sell things for? "Value" doesn't mean anything to me if you can never sell it.

Can you charge more for it if you call it a 'decanter' rather than a 'bottle'??

If the fill level on that decanter is good and the tax strip is intact, that can fetch a pretty good return.

Careful on the actual juice, though. A lot of old decanters contain lead.

Today I found vintage pantyhose for .50/each. Should sell around $20 each. Silk scarves for $1/each. Also sell for $25+. $2 for a tarte tray that sells for $40. An Italian art piece for a buck that I have not researched yet but will look cute in my booth. Also the Edwin Edward's autobiography and the Storyville book. Big hardcover $1 each. That is all I can remember off the top of my head.
While I was out today I sold a college football piece so I am about to go send that out at the post office.
