Crumbs from my jar....
|
Contest winner is announced below, so read down to the bottom!
Last fall I wrote a few reviews for eBay and
I'm close to moving up to the next tier of reviewers. It would be greatly appreciated
if I got some help getting over the next hurdle. Further down the newsletter, I have links to the reviews,
if you read them and feel they are helpful, please vote. Moving up will help
make the Guides more visible, which will help combat the fraud issue.
Until next time,

Have a Happy Fourth! |
DON WINTON BLOG
Don and Norma have joined the rest of the bloggers and now have their own blog. Be sure to post a comment or just
stop by and say hello.
When you are there, click on the cookie jar images on the right hand side of the page. It will take you to a Flickr page
we set up for them. There are several cookie jar treasures direct from the Winton Collection
for sale. Price is listed below the pictures of the ones that are still available.
If you're interested in any, just go back to the blog and email the Wintons.
WARNING -- there is one item I am particularly interested in and if it doesn't sell in the next few days, I'm buying it!

DISNEY LE JARS -- As mentioned in the last newsletter, the Disney limited edition jars
typically hold and increase their values after the edition has been sold out. I put a few prices realized
up on the web site. Including a few that have sold for double the value and are still available on the Disney Auctions
web site. . . . I sure hope no one reading this is paying more than double, when a little bit of research
will get you the jar at issue price!
If the jar is a recent issue and is not currently on the DisneyAuctions.com web site, don't worry, it most likely
will show up again soon. I am pretty sure none of the editions of the last six months has sold out yet.

Meanwhile, have you seen the new Lady and the Tramp jar? Or The Evil Queen? The jars are NOT on the
Disney Auctions web site at the time of this newsletter, but will be offered again -- probably fairly soon.

KABOODLE
eBay recently forged a partnership with Kaboodle to allow collectors a chance to do a MyCollectibles Page.
I decided to try it out and see how it works. First of all -- it's extremely easy to do. ANYONE that is reading
this newsletter and has any of their collection on their computer can do it in a very short while. I guarantee it!
I put my page up in less than fifteen minutes. It's not for everyone, for instance if you are web-savvy and have your
own web site, you probably wouldn't want to mess with this. Although it does have advantages of getting more exposure
for your web site.
Check out my page and if you decide to put one up, let me know and I'll link to it. While you're at it, if you "like"
my page, please vote for it. Please??
Chocolate Chip's Cookie Jar Collecting
While I am soliciting votes -- how about popping over to my Cookie Jar Reviews the next time you are on eBay.
I would also appreciate some votes there. I would like to move up to the next tier of reviewers, it will
help bring these pages up when folks are clicking on auctions that have the same keywords. It's one small
way to combat fakes and frauds on eBay.

LATEST GARAGE SALE FINDS
Added a few new finds to my Garage Sale Picture gallery, including a blue cobalt glass jar filled with
marbles, but has Mills Bakery and Homestyle Brand Cookies molded on the side of the jar.

PEE & POO TOYS
Okay, nothing whatsoever to do with cookie jars, but
Jim posted this on his blog and I had to
put it up on the Collectibles site. I've not had a single comment on it so far, so I can't decide
if it just grossed lots of folks out. Or they thought nothing of it. Of course my daughter decided
these would be perfect to go with a jar that JD James gave her a few years ago that she still displays in her
bathroom and loves. (To put it politely it was a pile of manure with a big fly on it.)

My Kaboodle Page

From Last Issue:
WALLACE AND GROMIT TEA CADDY
If you're familiar with the movie, you'll love this jar -- if you're not, you'll wonder what it's all about.
I've watched the movie with my grandson and must admit
that even if it's not one of my top picks,
I'll probably wind up getting the jar from Cardew.
I did chat with them and the shipping price to the US is £15.
Wallace and Gromit
INMAN/JOHNSTON AUCTION
The auction HAS NOT been rescheduled yet, but according to Randy Inman, the date should be set soon.
The last I heard, they were looking at a fall date. As soon as I hear anything, I'll be letting folks know.
I know several collectors have talked about meeting at the event, therefore it's important to get the date ASAP.
