This past weekend I held an Antique Bottle yard sale for the first time and did pretty well. I advertised on Kijiji and put up signs, indicating the sale from 9 am to 3 pm and had about 40 people show up in the first 3 hours....and of course, a few dealers came by at 7:30 when I was setting up. Those guys....geesh....one asked about a cobalt 2 oz flat back poison I had out, I said $10 and he just put it back. What the heck!? Did he want me to just give it him? If I put in on eBay I'd get $20 easy.
Anyhow, I learned a lot about potential local dig sites from those who came by and made some friends to boot. I even had one woman (and her 3 teenage kids) take my address so she'd know who to come to if she needed more display bottles - and they bought over 20 varied pieces. All in all it was productive - I made $100 which isn't bad considering it was Thanksgiving and our road is under construction. So here's a couple of pics of what I had out...( a lot of this stuff went to recycling and more will go to Goodwill etc)...
