Post by: mart on January 23, 2013, 03:58:03 PM: Good thing to always check ebay before buying !! Gives a good idea of actual selling prices !! Just don`t go buy the starting/asking price !! Check the ending prices !! Many don`t sell at all !!~

Post by: Ipcress on January 23, 2013, 04:20:15 PM: Although sometimes rare things go for peanuts on Ebay

Never rely on one source.

Post by: mart on January 23, 2013, 07:36:52 PM: Not very often does that happen !! There are more sleepers found at thrift shops and goodwill stores than ebay !! But there is always that rare chance,,,!!

Post by: artx on January 24, 2013, 03:25:05 AM: You're all right, I'm glad I did not buy this item Before I check the real price of it.

Post by: mart on January 24, 2013, 07:58:01 PM: Its easier to type than "early to mid 1900`s oak kitchen cabinet" and most people know what you are talking about If you just say Hoosier !!~ I take the easy way out !!
Title: Re: JIM BEAM whiskey bottle
Post by: bigwull on January 24, 2013, 08:07:20 PM: that,s ok for you..but when i googled hoosier...i got inhabitant of Indiana....?..which got me thinking...does she mean that Indianains..are blocks of wood...like we do over here when we,re describing..Geordie s... ;D

Post by: mart on January 24, 2013, 08:24:36 PM: LOL I never thought that the term Hoosier Cabinet would not be recognized !!
