The Lelli Kellys went for $23.50--not bad for a $1 investment. Especially when sales have been slowwww!
One of my favorite new tools in treasure hunting is an app on my Droid smart phone called pocket auctions. It lets you type in an item and see what it's selling for or sold for on eBay. Mostly it's saved me money--I don't buy after I see that it's worthless! But I have found a few good items I wouldn't have purchased without it. Like a Madeline doll with a horse and carriage in the original box. I paid $20 for it at the Salvation Army, which is big bucks for me. But when I checked on pocket auctions, I saw it was hard to find and potentially worth some serious coin (well, more than $20 anyway.) I ended up selling it for $66.

About Me
- Metziamama
- I am a full-time mom and an avid thrifter. Love the yard sales, thrift shops, flea markets and occasional dumpster dives--any place to search for cheap treasures. I have also been selling on eBay under the name "Metziamama" for the past 6 years or so. You can check out my store Togs and Treasures. In my professional life, I worked as a writer, so blogging about what I love doing seemed like a logical next step.
