as far as Ebay. I applauded them for years. And I still do appreciate having the format available. But with the cost of the store, the listing fees, final value fees and, as they are also with Paypal...some of their fees as well., I finally realized they make quite a cut on our profits. I still like alot about Ebay, but am starting to think they're losing focus on us, and the reality is they work and get paid by us, and I'm starting to see what I've heard the rumbles of for years.Few of us will get rich here, most of us love what we do. I know I do! But at the same time, with the most rare of items turning up as on-line sales have become commonplace, it's clearly more difficult to sell and profit. In the past year I've paid on line fees and costs that have been a pretty nice chunk of my profits...so I'm being more cautious and not being as complacent.
If you don't have a store, you get the first 50 listings free each month. When it sells...then you pay for the final value fee do even if you have the store. For me, unless I plan to start doing hundreds of listings...it is better not to have the store. I'm also using a few other formats that I have just begun. Taking me forever...that old dog new trick saying is kinda true!
(I'll step off my soap box now...lol....)

I found Duncan and Miller Spiral Flutes in a book, but I don't think that's right.. No starburst on the bottom...clear and smooth, but the bowls are etched. Open to any ideas...Nina still searching

It seems to help. ~ Nina

Anyone have an idea who made them or the pattern???

Thank you so much for looking.
O unsubscribed to the Ebay store I've had for 7 years and doing the free 50 listings instead. A bit scared...anyone else doing this?

The Summer has been packed with family and friends visiting. (Love them as I do, I'm peopled out.) I need an island to sit, relax and get my Ebay store together.
Anyway...I bought these over a year ago and just getting around to listing them. I discovered a signature...Anyone recognize it. The picture doesn't do it justice ( I have a set of 6) Beautifully blown glass...very iridescent. I've been trying to find an ID for hours and would appreciate any help. I found similar glass by "Estaban Prieto"...but that's not the signature:

I'll stick around for a bit and scroll to catch up.

I get so irritated with myself that I spend so much time trying to find something like this...but I huess that's how I learn and refresh my memory to stuff.
That's amazing! Thank you Gail - Nina

I haven't been in here in ages, but at least I see a few familiar faces.
I would like to pick your brains for an ID on this piece. It's opaque white glass...more opalescent. Definitely not what I see as milkglass. A pattern of open roses with leaves. and beautiful scalloped edges.
The number 176 on the bottom.

Anyone have an idea?

Think I'll scroll a bit ~ Nina

Jeese Fran - Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly. Hope you rest and get better to enjoy Spring.
Here on the CT shoreline we've had nothing but 2 little dustings of snow for the whole season! Even after being here in CT for 10 years, I still expect snow like VT.

Holy cow!
Anyway...I think this piece is studio glass, but thought I'd post it just for the heck of it. Maybe I can learn something new 🙂

I was in second stage before I found out...just though I was getting old. Well, still getting old, but for awhile, felt way older...lol. It can knock your socks off, but always grateful to be as healthy as I am. Anyway...while sleeping lots and lots for a bit, my Ebay store was secondary, and as I wasn't listing too much, it was pretty slow. Better since November, but now replenishing my Ebay store with goodies. In the past few days I went to 4 Estate sales. I had a blast! Wish I could keep everything, but that would kinda defeat the purpose.

Every item, no matter what, was $5. EVERYTHING! I was going crazy and actually got there on time. I got 5 boxes of stuff. Incredible items that were store so nicely..CLEAN!!!! I think it was family cleaning out a unit for someone who had passed. Not a regular thing. I am so excited...can't wait to list. I usually don't work on the weekends. But I had to start sorting stuff.

I got so much beautiful stuff! It's been a long time since I've found this much stuff at one place...exhilarating! I can't wait to start listing.
I probably should know this pattern, but my brain is frozen. It's just stunning. I was told it was from 1920's or so. Thoughts.
YY!...excited again. Did any of you go through a time you were uninspired then get a good find or a good sale and get re-ignited with your passion for the stuff all over again?

Can I pick your brains?
I know this is carnival glass...Is it drapery pattern? 3-part mold.
