  • Business is Good

    2:21 PM PST, 2/20/2007

    Business is definately picking up. Had a great write up in local weekly paper and the phone's been ringing steadily since. Now posting first lot of Marvel and DC comic books including some of my childhood favorites like Shazam, The Shadow, Logans Run, Wolverine, X-Men, The Teen Titans Spider Man and more. Also received some very cool Vintage Art Deco lamps which I would have bought myself if I had a room to put them in. They are SWEET. Will be listing a painting by Clementine Hunter later this week, so keep an eye out on that. Jewelry sold last week as did the Antique flute and of course the baseball cards move all the time. Will keep posting more cards as they come in. Now have two collectors listing their cards with me so you will see some more great stuff coming up. Was disappointed that the Lowden D-10 Dreadnought guitar did not sell. Had lots of watchers, but opening bid might have been a touch too high. Will re-list this week at a slightly lower price, but it's such a sweet instrument hate to list it for too little. Guess thas all for now. Kids are great, had wonderful visit from their NANA last week. She brought a Wisconsin chill with her to Florida, but I didn't mind. Liked the change in weather myself. Anyhow, as the saying goes, see ya all next week, same bat-time, same bat-channel. Steph.
