Hi Jodi! I found a German Oktoberfest Beer Mug from 1978 at the Goodwill in Hampton Va and paid approx. $8.00 for it. It sold for $410.00 !!!

I found a a 1904 World’s Fair Lithopane Mug showing the Agricultural Building. It had a hair line crack in the bottom. I found it in the bottom of a $3.00 box lot of old mugs. Sold it in 2004 (the 100th anniversary of the fair). Got $320.00 for it. Found it in Windsor Ontario, Canada

Antique micro beaded purses . :)

Found a sealed copy of Jurassic Park Operation Genesis for PS2 for 4 bucks at a flea market and sold it online for 120$

My best return from an item sold here on Bonanza would be a 1950s battery-powered walking toy bear that I found in a pile of trash left in a property I purchased. It sold for $170.

But, by far, my best item ever sold online was an antique camera built by Simon Wing of Boston. Interestingly, Wing was the first presidential candidate for the Socialist Labor Party of America, garnering 21,512 votes in 1892. The camera was purchased for $5 and brought nearly $2500. I bought it purely on a whim in a Missouri shop.

I bought a trunk full of old uniform buttons, for $180, at a flea market, in Jacksonville, Florida. They were from some one that was a button sales person. There were about 10,000 in there. All sorts of police, fire department, military, state seal ones. I haven’t kept a grand total of the sales from it, but I’ve probably made $2,000 off of them so far. I sold one lot of 33 for $49.
