This past weekend I bought a couple of more expensive items. One is a wooden sake cup tray and set for $50 and the other was a trunk of clothes also for $50.

I'm off to start taking photos as soon as I finish writing here. I'm starting to get a bit of a backlog on the items I'ce purchased and want to get them all on auction. I don't need more things piling up around my house.

The wood cup set should be interesting. it was a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I decided to go for it anyway. It's going to be one of those where I lose a bit/ break even or make a lot on it, but I felt it was worth taking the chance.

The box should be a great income earner. I do sell quite a few flags and know that pre WW2 sell for $25 - $50 each. When I looked in the trunk there was a flag, so I figure that will pay for the trunk right there and everything else will be gravy. I don't usually buy trunks because 1) they take up too much space 2) the stuff inside is usually very old and in desperate need of a wash. That was not an exception in this case.

It was hard to resist though because besides the flag were two WW2 helmets, an officer's cap, a winter wool jacket with attachable cap, 2 undergarmets, a pair of leg warmers and 3 belts. All of these are in very poor condition, but even so I'M hoping that the purchase all together will net me over $100. I will put them all on auction tonight.

I picked up the Star Wars set to send and they still have more, so will also continue to list that set. I'm off to take photos...
