When Browsing on eBay or Etsy...

...what is your favorite thing that you really enjoy looking at?

Mine would be vintage cash registers. For some crazy reason, even as a child, they have intrigued me.

I have a thing for tote bags and there is a vendor in England I like to buy from. Also one in Australia, but her shop isn't open right now because the shipping is so weird due to Covid.

I have also buy a gazillion dish towels for gifts.

Oh, and I have a vendor in Canada that I buy small throw rugs from (like 25x42 inches).

@gidgetgh Speaking of which, I just received 2 new bagsbyapril from Etsy and my first masks from her (two) which I need to wash before I use. Love my two new bags. She has some new ones posted.

On eBay I look for Native American jewelry and turquoise cabachons.

On Etsy I look for jewelry, leather goods and hand-thrown pottery.

@Mersha On Etsy I look for vintage clothing--especially hats and blazers. I also look for vintage and costume jewelry.

I wanted to replace a particilar dual purpose Candelite vase/candleholder set which I located on Ebay.

Right now I am trying to locate a particular style gallery tray to use on my coffee table.

I enjoy the hunt and am patient.

@Mersha Just curious. Do you own a vintage cash register? That would be really cool.

I look for sold out QVC and HSN merchandise that I've missed out on, and just about any and everything else! I also enjoy browsing for unique Christmas ornaments and decor.

I'm always on the hunt for retired Akaad jewelry, although most of the remaining stock in circulation does not appeal to me.😄 It's always nice when I find pieces that do.😊

@Drythe What type of glassware is a favorite?

My grandmother left quite a few pices of her depression glass and sketched drinking glasses and they are pretty.

@Porcelain I do have an old one from the 1920's. My little ones really enjoyed playing store with it and it helped them with counting and change.

I would love to have one of the electric ones that were in grocery stores in the 60's.

Growing up, my best friend had a really old cash register we used to play with in her basement. Not electric at all. Pretty sure it was wood on the outside. Oak I think. Good times. I wish I could remember the backstory behind it, but I'm not sure I ever even knew.

I used to love sneaking my dad's electric adding machine to play with too. He did not enjoy how much paper roll I used up.

Thanks for sparking those memories. They are very special for me. I'm glad for your little ones they got to play store with your cash register.
