I sell in a shop in the bluest town in the bluest county of the bluest state and we're still talking people down off the ledge. My ebay sales have been filled with bottom feeders making lowball offers on valuable items. On the plus side, I found a couple of pieces of art - a painting and a photograph - that are both fairly valuable and that I like enough to keep. The best days are when I find stuff I don't want to sell.
