New Find Vintage Green Glass Wall Sconce Porch Light

Vintage Green Glass Wall Sconce Porch Light Black Metal Frame Outdoor Lighting. This is a new item, I found over the weekend. Very unique and has a gothic, medieval Spanish feel. A beautiful cylinder shape with glass that bubbles out of the back metal frame.

Also has a chippy vintage finish that we all love about vintage items and even if we didn't, this would be so easy to put a coat of black spray paint on the fixture part to give it a fresher look.

I love this new find and I know my customers will too. This will be a fairly fast sell.

Thanks for stopping in and check out modretroliving vintage stores on Etsy, Ebay, Chairish and Ruby Lane.

Feel free contact me if you have questions about buying or selling vintage online. Thanks Treva

Packing and Shipping Your Vintage Items

When I first began shipping my items, I made a lot of mistakes, costly ones, which made me quickly learn the correct way to pack. Supplies Needed Boxes Bubble Wrap Peanuts Packing Paper Tape Shelf Adhesive Labels Most of these items can be obtained free and low cost. I will share these tips later in my posts. Set up account with FedEx or UPS or both. (I prefer FedEx but do have accounts with both.) I will get into more details about the shipping companies in other post. You can save a lot of money shipping by FedEx or UPS rather than the post office. Wrapping your item. I recommend bubble wrapping most any type items, especially glass. The large bubbles are the best protection for large items. (I have had metal, brass, wood etc.. broken from improper packing.) Wrap the item a couple of times, tape it and them apply pressure to see if you can feel the item. If you can feel any part, then wrap the area ...

Worthless Collectibles The Street.Com Story

The Street.com had an interesting article about collectibles that lose there value and why. http://www.thestreet.com/story/10863800/1/5-completely-worthless-collectibles.html Although, keep in mind, that you can't always judge the price of vintage items on ebay. I have seen the same item sell for $30 one week and the next sell for $300. I need to write an article on the reasons why some time. Have a great week everyone.

Newest Vintage Finds

In yesterday's post, I mentioned how important it was to search for your vintage treasures as often as you can. Well, here's a testament to this fact. I stopped at a few flea markets yesterday and found a few things to sell, but only small profit makers. But today, I had to go back into town unexpectedly, so of course I stopped at a couple of other flea markets and WOW, what a good day it was. Not only did I find one profit marker but I found three high ticket items. Here's the first one: This was hanging up high, in one of the booths and I was on my way out and just happen to glance up and this caught my eye. For only $15 plus tax, I plan to ask $225.00. It may take a few months to sell, but it will be worth the wait. Here's the link to the listing on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300775603916#ht_348wt_250 Here another item I found today, although this is not a high ticket item, it unique ...
