We’re selling all our old dining chairs. We bought them at least 40 years ago in Sabetha. They were probably considered antiques even then. They were painted and we wanted natural wood so we stripped the one pictured above. It was very nice, except it took a long time. So, we had the remaining four chairs “dipped.” This was a quick way to strip furniture. Only, they used water at some point and the pressed backs never looked as good as this one we painstakingly did ourselves. We had a round oak table and despite the bad stripping, they actually looked fairly good. Our old bodies wanted something more padded, though, so they are going down the road, we hope.


This Universal dryer also had a manicure attachment as well as a place you could put perfume in the dryer air.
I cleaned it all up and was ready to put it out for sale. Then, just for fun, I checked Ebay.
There were three listed. The least expensive was $29 and the most was $49. Doubt if anyone attending the garage sale would want to pay over $1.00 for it. So, I put it back in the closet. Next winter I plan to try my hand at selling some things on Ebay.
Of course, asking and selling are two different things. I’ll probably wish I would have just tagged it in the sale tomorrow.
