Afternoon everyone…..
I know that Christmas isn’t the next holiday and we are awaiting Thanksgiving still. But isn’t anytime a good time to be in the Christmas spirit?
I love dogs more than most humans.
The piece that I will be sharing with you today, I’ve literally been watching and had it saved in my favorites on eBay since early October.
The seller started this piece as an auction item at $54.99 starting bid, or a $75 buy it now price. Yep, it was in complete dreamland…..🤣🤣🤣
At the beginning when it wasn’t selling as an auction. He would lower the starting bid by a whopping $2, keeping the buy it now price the same.
Weeks went by and he was all the way down to a starting bid of $44.99, but still the buy it now price of $75. Still no takers.
Last week he lowered the starting bid down to $40 even, but now added a shipping cost of $3.99 to the listing. Trying to be a wise guy….
Once again it didn’t sell and he relisted it at the same price. During the auction being live, I messaged him offering $36 including shipping. He replied back, that he wanted to see how the auction did. But thank you for my interest.
The auction closed out and nobody bid on it. So I message him again with the same offer. After a few days, I was in my email and it had a “Complete your purchase” email from eBay. It was the buyer accepting my offer.
He agreed and I now have this cool vintage silver Christmas round. It’s a little more than I’m usually willing to spend on any Christmas round of any kind. But my girlfriend loved the round and said it would look great on the tree. So after a little wheeling and dealing, I got the round…
I did a little research on this round. It was produced by the Silvertowne Mint. That probably explains why the round is so nice for a 16 year old round.
Now the moment you’ve all been waiting for……
