[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 28217, member: 37"]Thanks, will need to get that book for next year ;). I am not unsure about anything right now. I am selling most of my ornaments in the store rather than on ebay. Most of what I have are newer collectible ornaments and some American ones from the 50s-60s. I do have some older ones but really just happened onto them rather than made any conscious effort to obtain them. I was looking to expand my merchandise base for this time period since my sales usually dip the closer to Christmas we get. I put out about 150-200 ornaments this year. If the sales are worthwhile, I will make a more concerted effort at purchases for next year. My customers mostly seem apathetic to buying and collecting old. Sales have been rather random and sluggish so far. I didn't even attempt to put any of the good Radko ornaments in the store. I just can't see my customers appreciating them, nor paying accordingly. I did put some of the Radko Shiny Brites in but that is a different ballgame. I think my most expensive ornament is $7.50.[/QUOTE]
