We've retired, and we have a house full of too much stuff, so we've decided to have an online garage sale. We'll update it regularly as the items sell off. Bookmark this page - new stuff will be added every week, until the house is empty.
If it seems like there are only a few items so far, we've just begun to compile this page; but we've already sold numerous items and had to remove them from the list.

Please don't be shy: email me, debgilx(at)gmail.com, with an offer if there's something here you'd like, but you'd like to pay a little less.
You'll have to pay postage, but if you live nearby - we are in Scarborough, a suburb of Toronto - you can pick up the item(s) yourself, or request delivery. If it is really big - like a piano! - you'll have to arrange for your own mover, but we'll help you find one.
Happy shopping!

Collector Plates and Household Items

Click here to view a spreadsheet of mint condition, still-in-the-box collectible plates, an investment that increases in value over time - mostly Norman Rockwell and Eve Licea.  You'll see the original purchase price, the current secondary market quote (and where that was obtained), and a photo link to each plate (you might have to click "open" in some cases).  Make an offer on any plate that you like - if it is too low, I might want to negotiate, but you won't hurt my feelings by suggesting what it might be worth to you.


There are also six of these handsome woodtone plate frame/hangers available to display your collectible plate on the wall.  Striations and depressions create the look and feel of natural hardwood, and they are stained by hand to a rich, dark walnut colour. The quality frame features a unique locking inner ring that secures the plate to the frame. No assembly is required. Once you rotate the ring to the locked position, plate and frame become a single, solid unit. And because it is so lightweight, you can safely hang it on almost any wall. There is also an attached hanger - frame is ready to mount. The large back opening allows viewing of backstamp without removing the plate. They fit any Bradford Exchange plate, and many others as well (8 1/2 inch plate size - the most popular size). 
They each cost $15.00, twenty-five years ago, and they're still brand new in the box, never used.
Asking $15.00.

Wine Coaster - Silverplated - made in Brasil by Bellini
A refined way to present your wine selection. Comes with a matching cork. Asking $5.00

Pet Stuff

Neo-Paws neoprene jacket for large dog, greyhound to small Great Dane size.  Includes pocket for tennis balls, treats, etc.  Main purpose is for warmth, although it could be a swimming aid as well.  Good for cold, wet and snowy weather conditions, and it has reflective stripes in case you walk along the road together after dark.  This one is the 26" size, new retail list price is $55, yours for $25 - bring your dog to make sure it fits, if you like.  We like dogs.

Saddle bags for your larger pooch - they eat your food, let them help carry it home...zippered compartments with overhangs to keep the rain out; plastic clip snaps, one in front of the chest and two beneath it.  New, never used. They cost above $20 in this size - yours for only $10.
