I must admit I rarely visit eBay these days because I accumulated so darn many vintage patterns over the years due to my previous stalking habit. I wonder if we've ever bid against each other for one of those fabulous vintage lots?

I know your wily ways. Oh sure, everyone else thinks you're "sweet" and "generous" but I know better. Sneaky.<br /><br />Word Verification: "rhaboi". It's like kohlrabi but tastes even worse.

I often prefer it because it feels a more slow-paced transaction. Personally, I am the world's worst estate/goodwill trawler, so I don't mind paying extra in recognition that someone else has the skills I lack.<br /><br />It won't apply to your US readers, but as an Australian, both Ebay and Etsy are great for current patterns. Even with the exchange rate and postage, they are often cheaper than buying locally in Australia. We never seem to have $2.99 sales like Joann's etc.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474457671500871145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23435904.post-83650581067686516192010-08-29T15:56:27.327-05:002010-08-29T15:56:27.327-05:00What a great post.

I learned your top 2 rules early on into the game but I've had to stop receiving emails and let some of my searches lapse because I was spending way too much money on eBay. Picking up Sarah Coventry broaches for $5 & $10 was starting to overwhelm me. *LOL* But thanks for reinforcing that I was doing the right thing!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23435904.post-63320624368965669352010-08-29T12:02:38.605-05:002010-08-29T12:02:38.605-05:00I agree with Kristine, you are super sweet for sha...I agree with Kristine, you are super sweet for sharing. While I'm pretty good at estate sales, I usually buy bigger things there, I've only used ebay once, for something I really, really wanted and couldn't find anywhere. With your tips I might start shopping ebay and looking for some of the things I'd like to have.
