I've shared in this little blog that I am clearing clutter in my home by selling items on eBay and packing them in boxes and shipping them to new homes. I love it. I love the thrill of the auction. I love seeing my price go from RED to GREEN. I just, downright, enjoy it. But, I have to admit, it is a bit like a glorified garage sale for me. I rarely get more money than I paid for the item I sell. Well, once I had a stack of 12 Martha Stewart Living magazines go for $160. I was BESIDE myself. I had found a TREASURE in my closet. Who knew? However, this is FAR from the norm. But, I still LOVE it.
My husband has decided to join in my fun. And now to explain the title of this blog. Silver is at an ALL TIME HIGH. Currently silver is selling for $45 an ounce. This is a very high price. The last time silver was selling at this level was in 1980 when the Hunt brothers cornered the silver market. There was a day known as Silver Thursday when the Hunt brothers were issued a margin call. If you don't remember or know the story, enjoy. Who says you can't learn anything on the internet and reading blogs is a waste of brain power. Consider this a history lesson as well as an economics lesson. Wow, I've certainly digressed. My husband is a numismatist. He really enjoys his hobby. I have to say this was one of the sexy things I saw in him. I mean, a guy who collects MONEY. What is NOT SEXY about this???
Dear husband is selling some of his collection on my eBay account. And IT IS EXCITING. I'm hoping he will sell his coins for the price he hopes for. I started all his auctions at $.99. This makes me nervous, but whatchagonnado? Feel free to take a look at his items. It's going to be fun to watch his items sell. *I hope* I'm so happy he trusts me enough to put these items in my care. He usually uses a professional coin trading company, but this time he's using ME.
If any of you have some dusty coin collections in your closets and have a need to make some extra cash, now is the time to consider selling. Remember, we are talking Silver. Check out the market, don't just take my word for it. And, there is always a chance the price of silver will go even HIGHER.
This is not my typical prose for Emily's link, but I'm sharing an interest I have and something that is making my life a little more exciting than usual. I hope you enjoyed it.

best of luck! thank you for sharing this glimpse of your everyday. :-)
ReplyDeletehey a little excitement to life is a good thing...my grandfather collected coins...i have a whole vault full of them...hmm....
ReplyDeleteAlways wonderful to enjoy what you are doing....no wonder you are a "happy girl"! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like ebay - I just buy though. And it is fun to search, but I had to pull in the reins because I bought a few things I just didn't need. Replica of Jackie Kennedy's pearls, for instance. Well I have them now and have worn them once - about three years ago. :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband uses e-bay almost daily in his hobby of selling old scooter parts. Good clean fun!
ReplyDeletei love that you find your husband sexy :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it just feel so darned good to do this?
ReplyDeleteok - you totally made me laugh because my grandpa was a coin collector and I can't say I ever connected sexiness to it.
ReplyDeleteMy husband buys and sells guitars on ebay like a crazy person. He's not as bad as he used to be. When I stayed at home with my boys the UPS man and I were on a first name basis. That was years ago now. It's more a casual obsession of his now.
ReplyDeleteThis post was a breath of fresh air! Thank you for helping me breathe easy tonight ;).
Hi Happygirl,
ReplyDeleteI find my husband sexy when he cleans the kitchen with a good attitude and without me asking! Now, collecting money, that beats cleaning the kitchen!
What a great thing that you are getting rid of stuff in your home. I've been getting rid of things every day and every day I feel better!
numismatist, eh? girl, you are expanding my vocabulary, post by post.
ReplyDeletei hope those coins do well for you! on a funny note, your post reminded me that several items on my watch list were ending tonight, but of course i scurried over too late. that's what i get for not checking in on your blog earlier. ;)
Fun - I wish I had a stack of silver martha stewart mags.
ReplyDeleteWell, I haven't saved my silver coin because I sold it for 11 dollars. :( Maybe I should have waited...I needed a burger!
ReplyDeletehmmm... never say it as anything to do with sexiness. this made me smile ... and think.
ReplyDeleteSilver is up more than $1 again today.
ReplyDeleteI've been selling on Ebay too. :) I love getting rid of stuff. :) Oh and I am a silver fanatic. I have a weakness for Silpada. :/
