That's because of Viva - darn it!!! In a few weeks it would have gone for a tenth of that. Stupid festival driving up prices!!

it will get away because (a) i just bought a vanity, and (b) it's out of my price range (but still totally affordable at $250!!!) any portlanders want it???

That has to be one of the loveliest sets I've ever seen. And it was my size...

Thanks for posting *sigh*

Well, this one isn't even sold yet, but I know that it will get away. It's too small for me and luckily because look at the price! But what a beauty...

Is it against the rules to just post the pic?

This one went for $764, can you believe it!

Vintage Betty, that set is amazing!

That is quite a remarkable end price, I hope that it goes to a very loving home. Did it have a particular label or was it just the fact that it was super cute that forced the price so high??

 

[imoldfashioned]

Ugh, all this gorgeous stuff is breaking my heart--especially that vanity! $250 is a song for that piece.

I don't think it was a particular label, but maybe I just don't know labels. You can see the ended auction here.

That vanity is a steal, it's so difficult to find furniture like that here in Denmark. The tastes were apparently very different here at that time. Is it from the 30's?

I'm really not after anything because of saving for the super sekrit vacation, but sometimes I look. I really really like this dress. If it went for something that I would normally have spent I may have gotten it anyway. But it went for $106.50!! ::cries::

 

[Foofoogal]

That blue toile set was unreal. I am a cashmere freakaholic. So glad I didn't see it.

 

[Blondie]

This went for $899.99 on Ebay
Do some people just have more money than sense ???

Ooh, I'd say that one is worth the money.

I often wonder whether some of these expensive purchases are made by celebs, I know Dita von Teese (or her stylist or whatever) shops on eBay.

And yes, some people have more money than sense, but sometimes I think the items are worth the high price (and sometimes not, obviously). But honestly, if I had the money, I'd be willing to pay ridicilous amounts for an item I really wanted.

worth it but I don't have it this month

You could totally make that.
For half the price, or less...

Ooo, I could, but I'm horrible about having tunnel vision regarding what I want, and never seeing the three other things that would be perfectly fine except they're not exactly what I want. I'm trying to break out of it though. I will comb Butterick and McCall's and report back with my findings.
