This is the twin fitted sheet I bought at a thrift store last week for $3.95 with the McDonald's characters on it. I found out it was produced for Sears in 1976 and I put it on eBay, noting that similar sheets have sold recently for as high as $37. Well, last night my auction ended...and the high bid was--are you ready for this?--$79.00!!! Yes, that's correct--nearly 80 bucks, a 500% return on my investment! I nearly died when I saw the total and then worried that something would go wrong and my buyer would not pay, but the money came through this morning, so I'm good!
I doubt I will ever have this luck on an eBay sale again, but it was sure fun and I think it lent some credence to my junk-buying habit. See, I don't just buy crap--I buy crap that's worth something! :)
Well that's Craptastic. (Did ya catch that?) That's amazing!! K, I would have NEVER bought something like that, let alone thought to sell it on Ebay. You definitely have the eye, girl!
