I got them for a very low price.
I listed them on Craigslist and a lady replied and she was very intersted and asked how many of them I had. I told her 5.
When she showed up with her son she was telling me who the artist was, Patricia Buckley Moss.
I said, "Uh-oh" to myself when they mentioned that they saw one of her prints in an antique shop.
But I went ahead and sold 3 of the prints, and 2 other Angel girl prints by another artist, Snow, I believe.
Then when I went and looked up the artist, P. Buckley Moss I was so mad. I couldn't believe the asking prices on Ebay. More than $250 EACH. I sold her those 3 and the 2 others for much less than that!
That is still one of my biggest disappointments selling. I will never get another great deal like that.
Well, here is one of the original 5 I still have. I've had it in my vintage Etsy shop for nearly a year now. I haven't checked the completed listings or current listings on ebay to see what they are going for. I am still too mad about that sale. I was being a nice guy and giving her a deal because I needed the money and she was walking with a cane.

No more Mr Nice Guy.
It has been an ok day. I did just make another small tea cup sale to a regular customer. I won some nice tea cups on ebay. I have spent alot of money lately on tea cups. Too much. It is time to take a break from them for a month or so. But it is a never ending situation. People keep buying them. And telling me how much they love my collection. I didn't intend to be a tea cup shop, but that is what I have become, pretty much. I will try to do better than that this year.
Back to some tv. Then pack some orders. Then bed. Til tomorrow and do it all again.
