Thanks, that's a great idea.... It IS fun turning "junk" into "gold".... And I've found people can be overjoyed too when you send them something they've wanted. I've sold a few different things on ebay, and to me the greatest joy is when you get enthusiastic emails from people who love what they've bought from you!
I've found a good market is the market of people who are missing things from their past, or even those who are living away from "home" and who are "homesick".... You're right, people love to reminisce and they'll love you for giving them the chance to do it. :)
Thanks Wendi for sharing those great thoughts. :)
