<p>[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 142770, member: 88"]I purchased a box lot for the commercial perfume bottles that were included.

It even had its 2 little brass pins still attached. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I initially was going to pitch it but decided to check out an advertising angle. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>One week later "Robert" from Spain had paid me $44.00 plus shipping for this item. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>This item is actually what started the "Greatest Finds" thread on eBay's PG&P board.
