    Ok, mom (or "mum"? - for ya'll across the proverbial and various "ponds") collects (or used to anyway) these cute li'l "unique wooden keepsakes", as their website refers to `em - LINK>:

    https://www.catsmeow.com/webapp/wcs...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10151&catalogId=10251

    but now, she's gonna have to let `em go ... or least several HUNDRED of `em ... and the chore has fallen on me, as I am the "resident computer idio... umm, uhh genius".

    She was supposedly an "Official Retailer" of these at one time, but she lives in a very rural, isolated area, and gets very little "traffic", except for a few, select, certain times during the year (though I don't see her listed in their website ... in fact, I can't even GET to the "Virgina" list of retailers ... wacky website??).

    Anyway, does anyone know anything about this stuff? She's looking to sell many (most) of her collection - and less expensively than anywhere else (show us a price and we'll beat it).

    These things are "cute" as I mentioned, but personally, I'd chuck `em in the furnace to be used as kindlin'- if it were up to me ...

    Thanks in advance ...

    Oooops (and no bump intended) - was this (first post of mine) not supposed to go here - as I posted it? If not, I apologize, and moderator(s) I understand that it could well be YANKED (though would it be possible for you to simply "move" it to another forum instead of deleting it?)

    As I was perusing the list of Forums just now (which I almost never do), I noticed that there is a separate Forum for 'Buying/Selling/etc'. ... though I do recall seeing it once before, and recall that I had "figured" (at the time) that it was for computer/electronic items/stuff (?)

    They have their own "Collector's Club" at https://www.catsmeow.com/webapp/wcs...0251&storeId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=11109

    Have you searched for values for any in your collection?
    Certainly don't dump them.
    Alternatives are to auction as a Job lot at a relevant Auctioneer's, or investigate them, one by one, through their Collectors Club.
    Or Google search for each item. You will probably find eBay auction references to past and current Auctions.

    Any photss / scans of items / packaging so we can do a bit of investigating?

    Thanks for asking bb ... but no, none. I have simply been inundated with other "issues" (to put it nicely) lately.

    We'll get there though. With this economy, I may well reach a tipping point, where I'll need to be selling everything ... and I do mean everything!

    I'll try a bit harder (smarter?) here soon to get something done ... anything along this line, and then I'll post back here.

    Thanks again,
    Glenn ...
