Fabric Items
We've retired, and we have a
house full of too much stuff, so
we've decided to have an online garage sale. We'll update it regularly
as the items sell off. Bookmark this page - new stuff will be added
every week, until
the house is empty.
If it seems like there are only a few items so far, we've just begun to compile this page; but we've already sold numerous items and had to remove them from the list.
Please don't be shy: email me, debgilx(at)gmail.com, with an offer if there's something here you'd like, but you'd like to pay a little less.
You'll have to pay postage, but if you live nearby - we are in Scarborough, a suburb of Toronto - you can pick up the item(s) yourself, or request delivery. If it is really big - like a piano! - you'll have to arrange for your own mover, but we'll help you find one.
Happy shopping!

Collector Plates and Household Items
Click
here to view a spreadsheet of mint condition, still-in-the-box
collectible plates, an investment that increases in value over time -
mostly Norman Rockwell and Eve Licea. You'll see the original
purchase price, the current secondary market quote (and where that was
obtained), and a photo link to each plate (you might have to click
"open" in some cases). Make an offer on any plate that you like -
if it is too low, I might want to negotiate, but you won't hurt my
feelings by suggesting what it might be worth to you. |
There are also six of these handsome woodtone plate frame/hangers available to display your collectible plate on the wall. Striations and depressions create the look and feel of natural hardwood, and they are stained by hand to a rich, dark walnut colour. The quality frame features a unique locking inner ring that secures the plate to the frame. No assembly is required. Once you rotate the ring to the locked position, plate and frame become a single, solid unit. And because it is so lightweight, you can safely hang it on almost any wall. There is also an attached hanger - frame is ready to mount. The large back opening allows viewing of backstamp without removing the plate. They fit any Bradford Exchange plate, and many others as well (8 1/2 inch plate size - the most popular size). They each cost $15.00, twenty-five years ago, and they're still brand new in the box, never used. Asking $15.00. |
| Wine Coaster -
Silverplated - made in Brasil by Bellini A refined way to present your wine selection. Comes with a matching cork. Asking $5.00 |

Boat stuff
| I'm ready to repower my
sailboat, so here's what I have
for sale to a project boat builder: Honda BF75 four stroke motor, Yamaha 703 remote controller and cables, cable adaptor kit (installed - original Yamaha cable ends also included), original outboard manual and shop manual, has a battery charger and the cable for that is included, a plastic Honda gas tank plus two spare metal tanks, fuel hoses and ends. The motor has been professionally serviced each spring, invoices saved, and has very low hours - we just motor out of the docks into the lake and then turn it off and put up our sails. The twist grip throttle was snapped off in a fall, but that's a redundant part when the motor is remotely controlled. The kill switch button remains intact. Price: the 703 remote controller sells for around $265 new without the cables, and used four stroke motors are not cheap or readily available; add in the value of tanks, remote cables, charger cable, adaptor kit, manual and shop manual, and taxes, and see what you come up with. I'll price my entire package at $200 for everything, for a quick and painless sale. |
