I was a bit surprised that Midwinter Stonehenge Wild Oats pattern dinnerware I had on eBay didn’t do that well. Of the four auctions, only the salt and pepper set sold and that only for the starting bid of $9.99. I had thought both the coffee pot and the 4 plates would sell for sure, which just goes to show how smart I am.

The three unsold listings have been re-listed and are once again live and will end on this coming Sunday evening.

Overall, a total of eleven of the sixteen listings sold for a total of $518.58.

The best money makers were the two Zenith Trans-Oceanic radios that I paid $25 each for. The sold for $203.50 and $136.27. They were followed by the Canadian Pacific Railway plate which sold to someone in Canada for $78.77.

Once again, this week’s primary focus is hockey, in this case the first round of the NCAA National Championship, so I don’t have anything really interesting on eBay. Along with the three re-listed Midwinter Stonehenge Wild Oats items - the coffee pot, the cups and saucers, and the salad/bread plates - I’ve also re-listed the Pampered Chef cookbook, the Isabel Bloom book, and the unsold LA Lite cookbook.

Added to the re-lists are a small number of thrift shop purchases. They are:

A youth soccer coaching DVD titled The Novice Coach that I paid $1 for.

A book about Fargo, ND and Moorhead, MN titled A Century Together that I paid $.50 for.

Classic Minnesota Fishing Tales which I paid $.25 for.

Sashiko - a book of machine embroidery designs I paid $.50 for.

Another book - Customize Your Sewing Patterns For A Perfect Fit - that I paid $.50 for.
