Collectible Cindy

My Wife, Collectible Cindy (our youngest son Will)
About 10 years ago my wife and I made the decision for her to become a stay at home mom primarily to care for our oldest son who had been diagnosed with an incureable condition several years earlier. It wasn’t easy, but we managed to survive financially in Los Angeles despite the ever-increasing cost of living and only the one source of income. Unfortunately the downturn in the economy combined with the ever increasing costs forced us to sell our home in Glendale and move approximately 100 miles southeast to Murrieta California. In addition we decided it was time for my wife to go back to work. 



She decided that she would like to give a try to the auctioneering business and to that end she began going to garage sales, estate sales, swap meets and flea markets and even a local auction house in search of items she is now selling on Ebay. She is very good, has a great eye for collectibles and passes the items she finds along to her customers. You never know what you may be seeing coming your way via this blog. There are John F. Kennedy bumper stickers from his 1960 presidential campaign or 1930’s era streetcar tokens from Los Angeles and San Diego. She has a turn of the century coffee urn, collectible Star Wars pins, an 8-pack of full glass Pepsi bottles un-opened from 1991 and a sealed in the package Eric Draven (The Crow) action figure that includes a movie poster. There is a small collection of Teffin movie filters perfect for a beginner film student that she got from the estate sale of a Hollywood stunt man and an extremely worn but still readable copy of “Gone with the Wind” that dates to 1939 and includes photos from the original motion picture of the same title. Collectible China and there is a lot more.
 

This is entirely my wife Cindy’s endeavor but she has asked me to write about the items she has for sale and pass along the links to her Ebay auction listings. Check them out, bid if you like and good luck to you if you do.
Thank You
Rich Sharp
