<p>[QUOTE="Snowman Cometh, post: 13155716, member: 83302"]If you saw something that uniquely ugly, yet well put together for $3, grab it. If I end up taking $100 for it. I'll get $80 from ebay, and that's a nice profit for something like that. Though the cheapest now is $599. If I knew it sold for $600, and the woman was selling it for $100, I'd walk away. Because you still have to find that person willing to pay $600. $3 is now a slice of pizza. How sad is that?</p><p><br /></p><p>It's quivering all right. Back in the day, I'm sure a woman wore it with pride. This might even work on a few today. But, they have to be strikingly gorgeous to pull this off.</p><p><br /></p><p>It does have layers. I think those round things spin.</p><p><br /></p><p>From any of my posts, have I ever paid a lot for anything? I know it's gold tone, and paid for the glass intaglio. My wife just doesn't like it. I paid $10. The box it came is great. I put her anniversary present in it.
