So I had a garage sale with my Mom today. Prior to this, it had been established that I was going to sell a couple of larger antique/vintage furniture pieces since most people on Ebay won't buy stuff like that since shipping prices are too high right now.
She assured me that, "No one was going to buy those ugly, clunky things." I assured her they would. Both were mid-century pieces (A large starburst topped table with 4 watermelon colored chairs) and a black and turquoise telephone table/stand) and, having written a book on antiques and collectibles and knowing exactly what is hot and what is not, I knew what was in demand.
So, I said, "Okay, whatever mom", and put them up for sale anyway. The FIRST buyer we had today? She bought both of them.
Ah...I love it when I'm right. :)
