My hubby is blind in his right eye !!  Accident when in the Army,,makes me mad because he can see better with one eye than I can with both eyes !!

You are too much Mart! 

Raven31557, my dad is "legally blind" in both eyes -- but boy can he tell me exactly when/how to drive to areas!  He is ALWAYS right!

My mother's aunt had been using this as a water bowl for her cat and mini Schnauzer at the family summer home.
I knew it was fairly old, and when nobody else wanted it (when the property was sold) I grabbed it.
My brother scrubbed out the lime and calcium build up inside and VIOLA!!
Perfect condition.

Here's what I was told at the Red Wing web site....
Red Wing Sponge band Casserole.  Without lid, the value is around $150 if in perfect condition.  The Sponge band stoneware was introduced in the late 1920's by the Red Wing Stoneware Company.

a dog dish
pffft

Hello!!!
I went online to see if I could find a lid for this, so I could sell it at a higher price.
No luck, but I did find several of these with a cracked lid that I thought were under priced.
MY QUESTION  ---  Do any of you buy antiques on eBay or etsy and resell at a profit?

Do any of you buy antiques on eBay or etsy and resell at a profit?

There are ONLY 2 reasons why a person buys or sells an item on eBay or etsy.

For their own "collection" or to make a profit.

I assume there are cases of a person intentionally selling an item really cheap ….. just to spite their spouse, partner, etc.

I remember the case of a woman who placed an to sell a Porsche for $50. A man called and said he would buy it. After he paid the $50 and got the Title, he asked why she sold such an expensive car that cheap. She said it belonged to her husband and their divorce just became final …… and her husband called and told her to sell his car and send him the money.

You can luck out and buy things like lids ect if you watch the new listings every couple of days !!  Some people may not know what they have and do a cheap BIN !!  Of course I usually have to tell them before I will buy it if its way too low !!  I always think they may really need the money !!
