This one say's it all!
The date on the calender in the backround of the picture says April 1973 and the prices listed at the bottom from our shop back then reads $10.00 $12.50 and $15.00.
30 years later....florists have a $20 dollar minimum..

Believe it or not, the design books on Ebay were selling for quickly rising prices last time I checked. Old ones, new ones, FTD or Teleflora. Who'da Thunk It !

Wow, never thought of that. I am always geting rid of stuff since out space is small so though our many old selection guides. Should have done the ebay thing with them and made some money. I do have the last FTD one - we'll see? I guess 'cuz I think it's so lousy it's hard for me to imagine someone thinking it is valuable. I am sure I have tons of stuff I could unload on ebay actually. In fact I'm sure most of us do for that matter.
My brother buys and sells on ebay a lot. He used to have a ham radio store but it burnt down and he did not get back into it. He delivers for us now and his wife is rich so he does not really HAVE to work. Anyway, one month not too long ago he gathered up stuff from around the house. You know, in the basement, attic, garage, under the bed, and soon. He made $500.00 that month from selling things that meant nothing to him.
Ya, gotta be careful and read everything though. Some things have flaws and they tell you, like used stuff, ya know? I bought a few old TF teapots for Mother's Day and one had a tiny piece glued back on the inside of the rim. I went back to the listing and sure enough it said it. I would never have imagined someone would try and sell something like that. That's the naive overtrusting part of me.
Gotta love that ebay, though. Once again, "Wish I'd thought of it!".
