Yep, it's that time of year again - time to clear out the old inventory (which I affectionately call my Unsold Mysteries) to make way for the new! I've got 68 items up at auction right now - I started them low, between $5 and $10 on most of them- so here's hoping I can send a few things on to an appreciative new home!

Huge LAST CHANCE Sale On eBay This Week!

Since I haven't done a clean out of old, unsold inventory in quite a while, I decided to take advantage of the 7 DAYS (!!) of free auction listings on eBay to have a LAST CHANCE sale. Can you believe I had stuff in my stores that I originally listed back in 2009? Crazy! Time flies when you're having fun and all that, apparently... ;)

These auctions are literally the last chance you online folks will have at these items - and I started them all nice and cheap, most of them at $4.95. And there is some GREAT stuff too, definitely a few things that fall into the "unsold mysteries" category!

Before I show you some of the items that are part of the sale, I did list a few new goodies that I want to make sure you see:

Vintage Cathjen Wooden Owl Wall Plaque Art

Vintage Dansk Cast Iron Taper Candle Holder

Vintage Industrial Metal Table Desk Lamp

Vintage Wooden Shoe Mold Form Set Pair

Vintage Marshall Field Christmas Catalog 1963

What do you all think of my new white bead board photo background, by the way? It's not perfect - the board was salvaged from my parent's bathroom re-do, so there wasn't a piece large enough for the backdrop, hence the dark gaps... but I think I kind of like it, though I still have some lighting issues to work out...

Ok, on to the sale items... I think I pulled out about 150 things, so of course there is no way I could show them all here - if you want to see everything, just click on over to check it all out! Here are just a few of the biggest "unsold mysteries" - things that I really love, and have NO CLUE why they haven't sold. Hopefully they will this time! ::fingers crossed::

Unsold Mysteries LAST CHANCE Auction Blowout!

My parents and I are having another garage sale Labor Day weekend - so you know what that means! I am cleaning out items that have been online for a long time and haven't sold. A lot of them are definitely "unsold mysteries" - really great stuff that should have sold, but hasn't. So, I threw up some last chance auctions on eBay - if you want something, grab it now because it's the last time it will be available online! :)

Rearranging is all the rage right now, at least for me!

The past week or so has been all about rearranging for me - it's a New Year's thing I guess! I did inventory and organized all of my filing cabinets to make space for my 2010 stuff, and I've also been reworking my Etsy shops.

Which brings me to my main announcement - my 2nd Etsy shop, Vintage Goodness Too, is now officially closed until further notice. It was fairly successful, but really I had just as much luck with the dolls, toys and games on eBay as I did on Etsy, so I decided to eliminate having to manage an extra shop and just move that stock into my eBay store.

My main shop, Vintage Goodness, got a total makeover as far as categories are concerned, in preparation for all the vintage ephemera that I am going to be working on getting listed - believe me when I say I have a LOT - it's currently the biggest backlog of inventory in my office, and I am determined to get it all listed before sale season starts up again in April.

I also moved some things that had been in the shop for a while over to my eBay store. Do you ever look at something and just scratch your head about why it hasn't sold? I have some great stuff, IMHO, that just hasn't caught anyone's eye I guess! I think of them as "Unsold Mysteries"...

Well here, let me show you some of the things that I moved to eBay from both Etsy shops, you'll see what I mean...

Vintage Green White Therm-O-Ware Ice Bucket Tumbler Set

Vintage Rotating Music Box Musical Angel Doll Japan

Set of 4 Vintage Aqua White Leaves Swanky Swig Glasses

Vintage Japan Young Couple Ceramic Figurine Music Box

Vintage Brown Porcelain Enamel Coffee Caddy Pot Mug Cup

Vintage Chiyoda Made In Japan Musical Music Box Doll

Vintage Red White Plastic Popcorn Tub Cup Serving Set

Vintage Bradley Big Eyes Colonial Girl Doll Korea Retro

Vintage Jane Lynn Daisy Drinking Glasses Tumbler Set

Vintage Royal Sealy Blue White Floral Coffee Serving Set Japan

I think I just created a new Label for posts - Unsold Mysteries. ;)

PS - I find it highly annoying that Etsy won't let you have the info from your listing once it is expired. Highway robbery.
