New goodness at auction on eBay this week!

I can't believe I almost forgot to do an auction promo post today - I have a bunch of great stuff up that is ending tomorrow! eBay's listing fee sales must be working well for them, they have been having one every couple of weeks for a while now, and this week it was FREE to list up to 150 auctions! Gotta love it. :)








There is LOTS LOTS more - I wish I had time to show them all off here! Click on over to check out the rest :)

New goodness at auction on eBay this week!

eBay had another penny auction listing fee sale this week! *happy dance* I managed to list almost 40 items that day - a combination of new things, things from last week that didn't sell, and a few things that I pulled out of my store. Everyone go and bid so that eBay sees how GREAT the penny listing fee works - and hopefully decides to make it permanent! :)

New goodness at auction on eBay - plus vintage purses!

No eBay listing fee sale this week :( but I did list several auctions, and I need to show off the vintage purses I listed straight into my store at fixed price with best offer... You guys do all realize that pretty much EVERYTHING in my eBay store has the best offer button on it, right? :)

New goodness up at auction on eBay this week!

eBay had ANOTHER penny auction listing fee sale - I couldn't believe it! The first one must have gone over pretty well for them if they decided to have another one so soon... Here's hoping it is something they decide to do every couple weeks, or better yet, make it a permanent fee change! A girl can dream, right?

Anyway we got some great stuff listed, including FOUR pieces of what I am pretty sure is Bitossi pottery I scored last weekend. :)

Featured Collectible - Vintage Mug Shot Photos

I have a new mini-obsession - vintage mug shot photos. Kind of weird I know... It all started when I stumbled across a blog post on Adore Vintage about a collection of vintage police photos from Sydney, Australia, that included several mug shots of both men and women. This one I fell in love with completely:


This is not your typical mug shot obviously, but WOW - what an amazing photo! So of course I had to start poking around at other old mug shots... You know how this goes, it is kind of like Alice falling down the rabbit hole... There are more out there available for sale than I would have thought, and they are just ripe for collecting! You could create some really unique displays with them, gather them together in an old album, catalog them all online... Can you tell I've daydreamed about them just a little? ;)

It's the faces that really get me with these - you can't help but look at them and wonder what the person did that landed them in trouble, and what their histories and personal stories are... It's a whole different vibe than what you get from most vintage photographs, that inherent element of mystery makes them just that much more interesting!

Here's a few that are on eBay right now that I really like:



1965 Press Photo Esther Jones Mugshot Found Murdered

Real Photo Copy 1890s CDV John Dolan Mug Shot

Mug Shot Card Photo November 18, 1895

As if these weren't cool enough, LarkenDesign over on Etsy scored some mug shot negatives that they are making into prints and posters! This one is my favorite:


Also on Etsy are some old mug shot greeting cards that crack me up, like this one from TheFoundRetail:


If I ever find some of these when I am out junking, I will definitely be snatching them up!
