A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I found some old photographs of a girl and her Boston Terrier while out at a sale with my mom. The pictures were in rough shape–they were in a really dirty box in the basement of the sale, and I wasn’t really sure anyone would want them even if they were clean, but they were very cool so I bought them. I posted a photo of all of them in a group, but here they are individually: 

Anyway, people started watching them immediately when I listed them on eBay, and up until the last few minutes, they were hovering around $14 or so. I bought them for $5 so this was fine with me. Anyway, right before they ended there were a few more bids, but I was not expecting the final outcome: $64!!! 

I will admit that I was shocked, but these are some pretty cool photographs. Especially the one at the refrigerator. If the girl in these photographs had a beagle instead of a boston terrier, they’d be on display in my home right at this moment. This is a great example of the pleasure of finding something really unique, enjoying it for a while, and then passing it along to the perfect person via eBay (I’m just assuming if she was willing to pay that kind of money). 

So I guess the moral of the story is: buy cool old photos if they are cheap.
