Reggie's Attic Estates & Antiques

You can say that I practice what I preach. I live with practically everything vintage or slightly used. The only thing I’ve ever bought brand new that I can think of is my spare fridge and it was on sale or I would have waited for one to come up in an estate sale somewhere. Last weekend was finally time to put Courtney’s round baby bed away. I don’t like toddler beds, I feel they are a waste of money because they only last for such a short time. I had spent a lot of time looking for the perfect little girl’s bed. Last summer while traveling in South Carolina we found it. We walked into a large antique mall and there in a booth that was going out of business was a canopy bed. It had been marked down to $150. For an early 1900’s Walnut twin bed we felt we were getting a steal. And when the crochet laced top went with it, that made the deal even sweeter. The new bed was setup in her bedroom last weekend. I was at a show so Donnie and JB rearranged everything. They managed ...

Yes, I did it!  I finally opened an eBay store.  Not something I'm sure I really wanted to do, but with the change in how eBay is going to calculate shipping charges with the final price fees I think it is the most economical thing for me.  Years ago eBay had antique stores on their site and I had one.  When they did away with those I never really wanted to be in a store front again.  Never say never.    So I'm learning and I'm not very technical.  I just know how to log on and list auctions (primarily).  I wish it could be so simple when trying to setup this store thing!  If you have an eBay store I would love your advice. Any advice for design etc is most appreciated!

I started a page on my blog for my readers to post their weekly favorite finds.  http://estatesandantiques.blogspot.com/p/findsdeals-of-week.html Please check it and add to it often.  You can e-mail photos, descriptions of your items to reggiesattic@live.com  include a contact e-mail if you plan on selling your item (no phone numbers please).  You can post your finds through the comment section but can't post photos.  If you don't want to post photos that is fine as well. I hope to make this a fun page where we all can share because there is nothing yard sale goers love most than to share what they have, saw, bought, and sold!
