What's New? Mugs!

What’s new?

I’m listing mugs today. This two handled mug has pink elephants walking around it…after listing it I decided to tweet about it and get some new lookers….so I did and when I checked back to see how many people had looked at it I noticed I still had the description from another mug on the pink elephant listing—OOPS! I hurried back to fix it, and then had to go back to twitter and explain myself. That could be a good thing, though—I might get even more lookers by explaining my goof up.

Are you old enough to remember Davy Crockett on TV? Sing along with me: Dav-ey, Dav-ey Crockett—King of the wild Frontier….. Well, enough of the singing; anyway, here’s a great find! A FireKing mug with Davy Crockett on it. It’s a double-good seller: anything with FireKing is always collectible, and old TV show memorabilia is good, too!

I also have a Starbucks mug—it’s a 35th anniversary one, with a mermaid and tropical flowers. If you don’t know by now, Starbucks mugs are very collectible, especially ones that are from a particular city. I think they got the idea from Hard Rock CafĂ©, but hey, it works!

Do you sell mugs? You can find some interesting ones at yard sales, thrift shops, or even in your own cupboard! They are easy to pack: one will fit into a #4 USPS Priority box. Just protect it well with bubble wrap and stryofoam peanuts. I charge $8.50 for postage, which I figure will get it anywhere in the US.
