Last night I went to Goodwill and scored two wonderful finds! I found a Baccarat frog paperweight for $3. Perfect condition. This little item retailed for $500 when it was produced and is selling on eBay now for $150 or so. I'll enjoy it for a while but it's eventually going on the selling block.
The other find was a perfect yellow Fiesta teapot. Also $3. That will be a Christmas gift for my DIL. It's worth about $50.
I also found some clothes for the grandkids, some wrap, some decorative file boxes, and two scarves for myself. Altogether I spent $20.
I filled up the gas tank ($37) and went to Wal-Mart for household & pet supplies ($50).
I got home pretty late, and I was tempted the whole way to stop for fast food. I didn't. I was too tired to cook at home, but I had cereal, which was fine. Tonight I'll make the broccoli cheese soup I planned for last night.
And I found .02!
This is Why I Go to Goodwill!

It is very rare to find two such good items in one trip. I believe our Goodwill employees, too, are not allowed to buy, unless they are doing it on their own time. In this case, I would say the employees didn't realize what they had, because the price was way too low!
CCF, I'm holding off on selling until I retire a year from now, when I'll have plenty of time on my hands. Right now I am too stressed with work and commuting to really get into eBay.
