You should see the back..........

Well then ?
I'll bet the 2 sides are identical..

 

That's a very sensible way to approach it and probably what I would do. But I don't think it's ugly, unique yes, but not ugly.

 

The ones on Ebay that sell for the most money are in great condition and may be a unique color. The ones in good used condition go off at auction in the mid $100s which isn't bad for a $3 investment. There are a lot more of the less expensive ones selling than the big money versions. I checked completed listings and there were several shown.

 

If the box is nice enough for you to use for a gift, quite probably it is. Amazing the amount some boxes fetch when sold alone.

 

I went into a charity store once, and found a nice molded glass necklace sitting in a pre-WWII Tiffany box. It may have been WWI-era - green with a silk lining. The box sold for less than it should have; the right people weren't looking that week.

 

My wife put it away. But, one of these days I'll take a photo. It's pretty incredible.

I'm going to hopefully have it listed soon. Because Christmas is just around the corner. I've seen the sold and listed ones. I think ours is in excellent condition.

I was looking for a box to hold the Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs cameo necklace, and couldn't believe the prices on older ones. This looks like it should be for a ring. But, it's for a pendent or pin. It's not fancy, it's much nicer than new ones.

When you have something that should sell for $100. Put it at Buy It Now for $110. Someone will offer you a fair price. It might take a little longer. But, you'll get close to your asking price. What many do, and it doesn't work out well is, not consider time zones. I've won auctions I shouldn't have because they'd end at like 2am EST. Few will stay up to bid. I have. Most everything I sell now is Buy It Now or Best Offer. I won't accept a Best Offer till the item has been up a few weeks. My prices are already pretty fair.

 

I don't even sell on eBay any more, and this was in the days before BIN was a thing. There were no fixed price listings yet.

 

I've been selling for pocket change since 2022 (my social security would have me sitting at home doing nothing). This year I fluffed off. I have so much to put up, I don't put up anything. But, I'm getting back into the game. I've sold 5 things since Friday.

 

This was probably 2008 or something. I sold between 2004 and Jan 2023.

 

Did you just get bored? Anyone looking at my posts can tell I'm a lousy photographer (it's a point and shoot). That's what gets me when it's time to list things. But, my profit percentage is so high, it helps.

 

It was a tangled mess of medical, moral and legal stuff. I might have gone on if I could have been sure my eBay earnings wouldn't block my medical coverage. It was safer to bail, and these days I'm not sure I could handle doing it again. The medical part is progressive.

 

My wife is hitting the big one in Feb, and she is mortified of the upcoming extra medical for becoming an official senior citizen, it's easy to end up paying for something that isn't necessary, or not getting something for free when you could. I hit that last year, and opted out of everything. I haven't been to a doctor since 2004. I could drop dead right now, and it's just natural causes. But, from Oct 25 - Sept 26 I goaled myself to walk 5 million steps. I hit that in July. My goal raised to 5.7 million steps, and I hit that today. My favorite from this is, I wanted to do 100 days of 20,000 steps. I hit that yesterday. On average I've walked almost 7 miles a day. With all this, I still gained 5 lbs. I like beer and junk food.

 

boy , you really walk the Walk !!!

 

I have four auto-immune diseases that I know of, including progressive-relapsing MS. I'm lucky some days to get up the steps into my house. That doesn't include all of the other physical damage.

 

I hope you feel better today !

 

The Nor'easter isn't banging on me too much, but the other YUCK is. Some days ya can't win.
