[Mccoypottery-talk] Lucky Day

[M. Caudill]

I'm having a great day so far.

I sold an old pickup truck this morning, so I had a little cash.  Went to m=
y local pharmacy and they had my favorite cola on sale for less than $2.00 =
a 12-pack.  Loaded up.

I had seen an advertisement for a yard sale, so I decided to find it.  I mi=
ssed the first day of the sale, but by the time I got there today, it was c=
ool and sprinkling a little.  They had the usual clothes and tools, etc. an=
d had two tables of kitchen gadgets, glass, and pottery.  (No McCoy)  I was=
 kind of interested in a couple of bowls, when the lady walked over and sai=
d, "Everything remaining is ten cents each."  WOW!  I asked her for a cardb=
oard box and started packing stuff up.  Sure, much of it is "made in China"=
 or whatever, but look what Occupied Japan stuff is worth now.  I did get b=
owls/planters/dishes by RRPCo, Calif., Ungemach, and an "Original USA."  If=
 I sold them for only $.25 each in my booth, that's 150% profit.   I also g=
ot kitchen supplies, everyday stuff my kids can use now that they are movin=
g out into their own apartments.  I usually drop my extra pocket change int=
o some bowls on my dresser, and now I can sell these (they're Hull) and use=
 my unmarked bowls for spare change holders.

And I didn't even need to touch the money from selling my truck.
