Selling damaged or imperfect items is often not worth the effort it takes to get them listed, so why not give them away? I do it all the time. I also give away perfect but inexpensive items as thank-you freebies. It's just a gesture of good will.BetterDressesVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09762212227282569473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-43846730523928167342012-10-09T16:06:18.769-04:002012-10-09T16:06:18.769-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.BetterDressesVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09762212227282569473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-8867837589051403882012-10-09T14:17:53.379-04:002012-10-09T14:17:53.379-04:00Pick up some goo be gone...great for taking labels...Pick up some goo be gone...great for taking labels off anything!Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784505178222083364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-25684144936758569582012-10-09T02:51:44.724-04:002012-10-09T02:51:44.724-04:00That beach jacket looks like a version of the unat...That beach jacket looks like a version of the unatractively named Norfolk slop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-52826764833619278702012-10-08T23:03:43.685-04:002012-10-08T23:03:43.685-04:00They have a product for this: Goo Gone.

But Goo Gone is great because it evaporates and doesn't leave any greasy residue behind. I recommend peeling off as much of the label as possible to remove any plastic film that it may have on it, and then putting a few drops of Goo Gone on to cover. After a minute or two the adhesive will have come loose; I recommend about 5 minutes or more for oil; it works much more slowly. Rubbing alcohol also works to remove labels and gummy left-behind spots in some cases as does nail polish remover, but one has to be careful as finishes can (and usually do!) come off with this stuff as well! Goo Gone seems to not have this problem, but I recommend first testing a hidden spot to make sure you don't ruin whatever it is you are putting it on!<br /><br />oh and great pattern score, too, Peter!

Use a bit more to clean off the residue. If you haven't got eucalyptus oil I have also use olive oil and kero.Summer Flieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092393256871735567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-30242574422797797772012-10-08T19:39:37.316-04:002012-10-08T19:39:37.316-04:00Oh, I love it when people meet up like this!

I'm not really a big, or even small ebay seller, I am just auctioning off a few patterns I know I will not use. The extra patterns I sent you might be missing instructions and I did not check to see if they are complete (I did check for the swimsuit). I am a beginner so I thought you might be able to do without the instructions or give them away if you didn't fancy them. Also, I couldn't believe it when I saw your name, I told my husband "I know who this buyer is, I actually follow his blog!!!" I just didn't want to be creepy and be all "hey, i know who you are..." lol Anyway, I hope you enjoy your new to you patterns.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18063959407419342340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-83444351610938656092012-10-08T19:28:18.203-04:002012-10-08T19:28:18.203-04:00I love that swimsuit!
