The ones that got away

[Vanessa]

That's gorgeous and museum-quality. Just stunning.

I wanted these but forgot about the auction. They were part of a lot that had a lot of 60s and 70s sewing books mixed in.

It all only went for $3! :cry:

[Lauren]

Oh my gosh! I have some of those, but not all the ones pictured. I have never seen any more of them. That's pretty neat. Sorry you lost the lot, that really sucks

 

[Cleery]

Oh, that's beautiful. It looks like it's from the 1910s. Thanks for posting it!

This was never in my budget, but oh it pains me so much that's it's not mine! It is perfect for my colouring!

$650

 

[Lady Day]

I wanted this lot of notions for only one item:

The smoking guy on the button card. But $33 was too much for that. *RATS!* :rage:

Although I couldn't begin to buy something this expensive ($324.99, plus shipping) I would have loved to have it

. It is one of the most beautiful fur capes I have ever had the pleasure of seeing . I just hope it goes to someone who appreciates it.

That cape is way overpriced. You can find the same cape at $125 and less, if you just keep looking.

This morning I was watching a very nice coat on eBay. At the same time I was watching the movie "Eagle Eye," the premise of which involves a couple of innocent people whose lives fall under the control of an entity that has the ability to monitor and manipulate all electronic surveillance and communication. 53 seconds before the auction was to end, I lost my satellite internet connection. It’s a conspiracy, I tells ya!

 

[exquisitebones]

I really wanted this. But I think it went for too much for a blouse with sun damage

 

[Lady Day]

I so wanted these, but Im totally broke, and they only went for $17!

Noooooooo!!! I was just looking at that last week- I was going to buy it to wear to my brother's wedding! I was just waiting for my Christmas money from my grandparents to come into my account! I think I'm going to die now...

Weird, I agree

 

[Lady Day]

Some tool power seller sniped my bid on this card! :rage:
I wanted to add it to my men smoking on button cards collection.

Crap.

[texasgirl]

I got sniped! This one went for $56.99- I should have bid more

 

[Sunny]

Oh, bummer! That's a good one, and a great seller. Keep an eye on her stuff.

 

[MissHannah]

This lovely bangle and earrings set went for £18.99 which is probably a decent price but i coudn't quite afford it this week:

 

[Redhead]

Le sigh. . .

This one went for $38

Oh, poverty! How I hate you!

I adore that bangle Miss Hannah--so pretty.

I was watching this but it went for about $95, far more than I wanted to pay.

Some other lovely things that I've been watching over the past few months.

That collar is all beads. I got distracted and forgot to bid--I think it went for around $65.

I had not a prayer of fitting into this but I watched it anyhow because it's gorgeous. I didn't note the final price.

Not Golden Age but so pretty! This went for over $500.

 

[imoldfashioned]

Large size sleeveless 50's dress and short sleeved sweater...$250.00!

Cute but so easily reproduced for about $40 if you didn't get a sale on the fabric.

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

I love knit wiggle dresses, and am a big fan of orange. This only went for about $50 but I wanted to pay about half that.
