Today I was pretty busy with other mundane chores of life and didn't even get started listing anything until 10:00 o'clock tonight! I had errands to run this afternoon, went to see my mom, got some groceries, came home, fixed and ate supper and then took a nap with my hubby from about 7-10!!! Haven't slept that long for a nap in ages! Felt pretty good too! I should have got up, pulled back the covers and crawled back in! I guess I must have needed the sleep.
 
Since I started so late I only listed $103.45 worth of junk stuff. I re-listed 10 more jars since I sold 10 today (yay!) and then listed some buttons and old Avon decanters. I sold the one below today. I only paid 10 cents each for a bunch last fall. They take forever to sell and I don't really make much on them but since I've got them I might as well list them!

My sister Naomi gave me a box of jars that she had found while out thrifting. Well there happened to be a pint jar with the number 13 on the bottom! I have had some quart jars before but never a pint jar! I looked at the sold listings on eBay and it looked like I could get anywhere from $50 to $80! Someone had sold one for 80.96 recently! I started mine at $99.95 figuring I would try for the high end first. I had an offer of $65 including shipping and told him if I didn't sell it I would consider it. I eventually lowered the price and tonight it sold for the $65. I figure after shipping and fees I will probably make close to $50. Thank you Naomi!

Well, even though I had a nice nap it's 1:30 in the morning and I'm tired again!
 
Thanks for stopping by! ~~Pam

  2. Nice sale. Can you refresh my memory and tell me what the #13 means on the bottom?

    1. Most all jars are numbered on the bottom. I've heard that people that are superstitious would break the jars with the #13 on the bottom so therefore they are harder to find now. I've been selling jars for 4 years and this pint one is the first one I've seen. I've probably had maybe 10 quart jars with the #13 on them in all that time. Crazy, huh? ~~Pam

  3. You're so welcome for the jar! I can't wait for garage-sale-season to start up again so I can be on the hunt for more stuff for you to sell!
