@trezchick Gayle, You look pretty good to this old lady who is older than dirt . Could be mistaking those looks for looks of admiration? One of my beloved sisters-in-law said that she had actually forgotten what the natural hair color of her was.

@trezchick Gayle, If you can't spray how in the heck are you going to get rid of the bed bugs? Then again the bed bug treatment may be fumigation. Is that legal in Toronto?
I've heard my mom tell many times about two of her uncles who were traveling ministers in the early 1900s. When they visited their mother they brought the bed bugs in their hats which they hung on the bed posts.
Grandmother used kerosene to get rid of the bed bugs.

@trezchick Gayle Thanks for your comment on my cream soup cups.
I went through 20 pages of listings on ebay . Also spent sometime Googling. Found a Greek key pattern that was similar. It did seem that there many Spode Copeland items with no pattern name. I’ll think about it some more. May have to go without a pattern name.

@trezchick , Gayle & @lookwhatbobfound Bob, I pretty much follow Bobs' line of thought and actions. I know that I must keep my inventory at competitive prices. Before listing any items I do a good bit research to determine a competitive price. Sometimes I even go back and redo some of that research after the offer comes in.
And since I sell only items which I have purchased for resale I do consider my cost of goods ( COG) . If I find some fault that I had not previously noted such as a missing part or tears in clothing I might send it back to the thrift shop as a donation.
I had almost rather re-donate it than contribute to the free fall of prices as has happened in the book business.

Morning Gayle @trezchick .

@whodat111 Susan , Sounds like a great auction and y'all came home the winners. What kind of sewing machine did you get? I need to sell some sewing machines--- and that is MACHINES . Keep meaning to test one and then get pictures and put it up on Craig's list. Maybe today and maybe not.

Had this bit of fun yesterday.
Trying to dump this item on a DD or DGDIL::
”””””Anybody making Christmas cookies ?
I have this Electric Foodgun that looks like it would be a ton of fun for the gadget oriented kids with a guaranteed mess for somebody to clean up. Full directions and recipes included. And wouldn’t you know the cleaning brush is missing?””””””

Offer declined by all the females but snatched up by a son-in-law who will be making cookies with his 29 months old grandson. Our DD, the grandmother, said ” PERFECT! I get to watch the fun, sample the product, and XXXXX will do all the work. Life is good. XXXXX ”

Good Sunday morning to all of you potty people,
Northeastern hurricane and British Columbia earthquake and Tsunami Warning For Alaska, Hawaii . Run for cover!!! Don't remember ever hearing of dangerous weather for Hawaii.Not much weather news here in the mid-west as yesterday was a beautiful sunny day but on the coldish side.Supposed to be cloudy today but sunny tomorrow and Tuesday.
Had a good sleep but often wakeful. It doesn’t bother me so much as I just snuggle down and do a little wakeful dreaming or planning for the following day. Always nice to reach over an give DH a pat as he sleeps right onnnnnnnnnn !
Now to carry out some of those plans. Onward!!!
@trezchick Gayle Will report more later about life on the Iowa prairies in the late 1800. Having lived on those Iowa prairies for a few years just thinking about the winters and the blizzards give me the shivers.
Now I need some hot cappuccino !

@trezchick Gayle, Good to see you here again. Wonder where Susan is. I hope she is not ill.

@trezchick Gayle, NO fair!!! Leaving us hanging about your estates sale finds. The dog's repertoire of tricks are greater than mine. Guess I had better get busy and learn to roll over. I can already shake hands.
Our rain turned out to be a short shower. And the old man went back to sleep.

@trezchick Gayle , I think the 14 day return will cause problems especially for clothing sellers. In fact I have just been through one of those problems.
I had listed as NWOT who wrote on Thursday 07-05-2012 that the dress had alteration seams. I suggested that she might be able to remove the altrations seams but if not to send it back. Didn't hear anymore from her until Sunday night on 07-08-2012. She complained then that she thought it unfair that she should have to go to the trouble to return it. And then complained that the dress needed to be dry cleaned. I continued to insist that she send it back. I had good pictures one of which was an area around the turned up hem. No soiling showed on that or the other picture.
Finally she opened an eBay Buyer Protection case to which I responded by mentioning the hem line picture. The dress was clean when I shipped it. The outcome was that she received a full refund for which I was not charged and there would be no marks against my performance record.
I feel pretty certain that she wore the dress for a special occasion on Sunday. And maybe even altered it .

Gayle @trezchick - So you like S&C or as they were known in the beginning "Caesar & Cleo". I have Cher's final album playing on puter as I type.

@trezchick Gayle and @gordon Gordon, Thank you both for looking and for the link Gordon.. I looked and it is the A-10E mark from late in the Co's history. I'm at my MIL's home and have no way to post a pic now. Will take a pic tomorow with my camera and post it Sunday nite or Monday when I get home.
Thank you again for the help. So very kind of you both.

Tony

If you're having jpg problems then try renaming the file to make all letters lowercase, including the .jpg at the end. An uppercase .JPG will cause problems for some inexplicable reason. (@trezchick and @gordon)

@trezchick
Thanks Gayle - I too found the little bit of info @ the tv lamps site. I remember trying to use this gem as a nightlight when our girls were younger. Used one nite & scared the girls so bad that they still dislike clowns. IT WAS EVIL LOOKING IN THE DARK !
I just sent another email to Capitol Records to see if they know anything since Bozo was their "spokesperson" in the 40's, 50's and early 60's.
Hopefully someone will have something on it.
