Feb 2013

We've decided there's no room in the house for an actual estate sale, and I do hate the thought of dealing with ebay. Other than the expense of materials, I don't mind shipping, I did it for many years.

I'm going to set up a website with pictures and info, advertise only in Portland so local buyers can come pick up what they like. That way I can add items as I dig them out and clean them up... today I found a Fenton vase ($15 in 1976 when purchased, no mark so it's earlier) and several pieces of Royal Haegar.

We've got lots of time, not needing the money asap, so I can play with the options or try a few different things.
