Sending Treasures HOME!

We have been selling on ebay for six years and for the most part, enjoy it a great deal. The hunt for treasures is fun and keeps the juices flowing and the money is certainly nice. But the biggest kick is finding out that we have sent an item back home, where it belongs! For example, we just sold a calendar to a gent who had worked at the dairy it featured. It was his uncle's farm and he worked there in 1965! We also listed a vintage print block from a Minnesota Beauty Pageant. The lady that won was excited because her niece had won this very contest in 2005! We've connected folks with their name-sakes on numerous occasions: a Johnston Cookie tin to a Ms. Johnston; Blatz beer items to Sam Blatz; a mirror from Ruby Farms to one of the descendants of this prestigious Wisconsin landmark; playing cards from a Snirkles Candy Bar to a granddaughter of the 'inventor'; photos of a Milwaukee tavern to a lady who recalls her grandfather stopping there; old photographic equipment to a 'camera museum'; post cards from Louisiana to a resident with fond memories of this park that was destroyed in Katrina; another post card from Florida featuring the hotel the winners spent their honeymoon at in 1949! We'll keep searching for more of the magic connections! They make it all worthwhile! Wish us luck!

I find that somethings go where you least expect... Like the vintage made in Japan tea set sent to Israel, or the first ed Conan paperback sent to Norway ;)
