Archive for the ‘Why didn't this sell?’ Category

I’ve had this thing for quite awhile.  I found it in the bottom of  a hat box I bought that had some quilt pieces in it.  I sold the quilt pieces, but never sold this.

It even comes in the original box!

It has the case to keep the compact from getting scratches.

I’m not sure why this didn’t sell.. except maybe people don’t use compact?

Here’s what I wrote about it:

Up for auction is a very nice vintage Christian Dior Compact in the original box.

• This has never been used.
• It comes with box, black case and the gold basket weave compact.
• This has the original puff.
• About 3″ square
• Box has some condition issues..
• Free shipping
• Back of box reads: Poudrier Damiers Dore Compact Checkered Gold Ref 2121
• Made in France

I haven’t listed it for awhile. I’ll try it again sometime soon..

Some may look at this and think it’s ugly.

I thought someone might like this black bear bank…

No makers marks.. Nothing special really.  I guess I have my answer on why this

didn’t sell huh?

I’m not exactly sure where I bought these things. I believe they were in a box of stuff I bought at Strickers Auction. I’ve had a variety of people tell me they were different things..

Some have said they are upholstery pins.

I thought they looked like fancy push pins.

You know the kind you used for bulletin boards? What do you think they are?

Do I have them totally categorized wrong?

We’ve been going through all of our old stock of antiques and new items we have bought to sell on eBay. Some things were real hits.. and others not so much. Here’s one of those "not so much"

These are Made in Japan "Starfire" mugs, fondue pot and stand.

I know some are you are saying I know why those didn’t sell! They are ugly!

But look it comes with a fondue pot! Really it’s quite charming. Well, maybe not

so much.
