In other words, what would someone pay to have it as an accessory item in their house or garden? You don't give the size but these types of blue and white relatively new Chinese items tend to sell for $10 to $25 at our local auction depending on size and condition. </p><p><br /></p><p>Although we tend here on the board to concentrate on antiques, there is money to be made in buying and reselling other items. I tend to buy based on my own aesthetics. If I think it's an attractive item and priced right I may buy it to resell or I might buy it just for the fun of researching it. There's not a lot of money to be made this way but you at least have a chance of breaking even and might even hit a winner every now and then. And if you buy what you like you can learn the market pretty quickly.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
