It's Over...and My Flea Market Find


Well any ideas? I brought this at a church flea market for $7.50 its a 1990 Longaberger basket. I really don't collect these. but I thought it was a good find. Any collector's who could tell me its real worth?




Finally....the end of the rainbow (from my back porch). The garage sale is over. OK now hold on to your seats. I again doubled my profit from Friday. I made another 50 cents! I really can't believe it, my busy street strategy failed. I really think it depends on the area of town. We live about 10 miles out of our local town, Oregon Oh. We went to a garage sale today and it was busy in Oregon. There were at least 5-10 customers coming and going. I think our little town just loves garage sales. Now if I ever, and I mean it, ever want to have another garage sale, please leave comments reminding me how much I made on my last one.

Oh gosh, what a super deal you got on the basket! you can google the company to the basket value. They're pretty good about keeping it up.

I was eager to hear about your second day. Sorry it ws also a bust. Yard sales are unpredictable.

About the actual price of your basket.....An arm and a leg!

I love any type of woven basket. Your Longaberger basket is beautiful.

The rainbow is pretty. I guess that pot of gold was at the end of the rainbow at that other yard sale? LOL..just kidding. I understand about being outside of town.

Have a great day.

I will be the first to remind you that you should not have another garage sale. lol.

Funny how that happened. You could open it this weekend and be packed. Just funny how it goes. At my aunts she lives in the country but we get tons of people.

Good score on the basket. I have a few because my sister in law sold them. Never would have paid that amount for a basket without the discount she got and just cuz I felt I had too
