Last week I won around 20 tatting leaflets/books on Ebay. From the pictures I could see that a lot were ones I'd already got - several times over. Some of those I bought new in the fifties/sixties and I've long since replaced them with 'less battered' ones. Amongst the books were these three which I'd not got so I'm keeping these for little MEEEEE.
So, what to do with the rest? Let me tell you why I bid on these booklets. The seller had tried to get rid of them the previous week but there were no bids at all. Odd, I thought, so put them back in my watch list. I realised (things take time with me!) why they weren't selling - they were listed as 'buyer collects' which limits the take up for any item. So I wrote to her and said I was interested in all of them (they were in two 'lots') and what would she charge for posting them. We struck a 'deal' and eventually I won them all.
Now, as I don't want the following ones and as I don't want to make money out of them (just to cover my costs) I'm going to sell them at £1.50 ($2.50) each plus packing and postage.
So if you see any you want below then let me know (please send me your email address and I'll put your name on it. I'll hold on until you've seen all of them over the next few days then work it out and let you know what it will cost to post. You'll need a Paypal account too. Does that all make sense? OK here's what I've got!!!
1. Coats Tatting number 919
5. Penelope Tatting book 3 (I have two copies of this)
