Crafters are very partial to their scissors and one kind to “be on the lookout for” is the Gingher designer scissors.

These scissors are for both embroidery and fabric and feature a decorative handle. They all have a woman’s name such as “Ella” or “Sarah” to help identify the pattern. They have a great sell through rate and can easily bring between $25.00-$100.00 depending on pattern and condition.

Now that’s some knowledge to put you a “cut” above the rest.

Pepsi fans love their soda….and their collectible glasses!

Pepsi drinking glasses were just another advertising giveaway back in the day that people are buying today!  Most of them had some sort of cartoon character on them, but even the ones with just the logo are in demand.  These various glasses go between $25.00-150.00 depending on character, quantity, and condition. They have a really good sell-through rate as well!

It would definitely be worthwhile to research “Pepsi drinking glasses” on Ebay to see the various ones that are in demand.

Hopefully you’ll find one at the next place you “pop” into!
