Everyone says "Ya have to BLOG"

Everyone says, "Ya have to 'tweet' or 'face' or 'tube'.

I think "who would want to read what I write and what would/should I write about"?

I tried 'face' and got a lot of snowballs thrown at me at Christmas time, and  besides I was busy selling and shopping online.  I have been selling on eBay for about 2 years now.  I chose the seller name 'pattycyn'.  My mother Patty was the original Garage Sale Reuser/Reseller back in the 70's.  She had a knack of going to sales, picking up items, bringing them home to clean them, paint them and then would have another garage sale and sell them for a profit!  She would purchase costume jewelry, take it apart and redesign it and then sell it for a nice profit.  So I chose patty and cyn  for me, Cynthia, but you can call me Cindy.

In the beginning, I was selling items from Mom's estate and then from my in-law's Estate.  Kept some very special items to pass on, but there were a bunch of sterling silver flatware that didn't match any other sets.  I educated myself about the different marks of Sterling, and branched out into learning to identify some China marks, pottery, glass and collectible items that I might come across at estate sales or garage sales.   Some Silver Some Gold: Collectible Glass, Brass and more.  Treasures to put to good use or just to behold.

I also sell clothing, music, jewelry, household decor items, crystal glasses, all sorts of coffee mugs and just fun things I come across.  Not looking to make a living at this, but I call it my fun money.  (mainly use it to spoil my grown children and the grandchildren).   I even sold the burner elements off my Jenn Air Cooktop! 

I don't really collect things for myself, except maybe bubble wrap and boxes! 

I got excited about a huge storage tub of comics at a garage sale.  I knew nothing about comics, except I used to read them.  Mostly Archie and Jughead.  I bought them and resold them on eBay.  It took way too much time for the research, but I learned about comics and I made a bit of a profit.

Well, for someone who didn't know what to write about, I have probably bored you so I'll end for now and try to write another time.     

Until next time,   Cindy   www.somesilverandsomegold.com
