A few years ago I found these buttons in the bottom of an auction box.
I thought they were unique, and knew they would sell for something..
I didn’t anticipate there would be a bidding war with 3 people.
When the auction closed they sold for 56.00! Not bad for finding something
them in the bottom of a box! What’s the best thing you’ve found in the bottom of a box?

I’ve always liked cookie jars, and not just for the obvious reasons.. that they hold cookies. When I first started selling on eBay I bought a black cat cookie jar for $8.00 at an auction. I was so excited when it sold 158.00!
Cookie jars can be tricky to pack, but easy to sell if you do your research. Here are a few cookie jars that sell great on eBay.
The pattern and shape make this cookie jar rare.
This cookie jar is new, but they had to stop production of it..
which made it pretty rare.
This Casper the ghost cookie jar came with the original box. I thought
that would add more value to it.. turns out it only sold for 20.00 more
than one without a box.
There are a few car cookie jars on eBay.. but this Tucker sold
for the most money.
How cute is a Hippo cookie jar?
This is a newer cookie jar.
This cookie jar went with a popular line of dishes in the 1950’s
Franciscan Starburst RARE cookie jar Sold for $253.51
