Thanks for the info on pianos, Wayne. :-)

Now I wish I had kept it. :-(

I'm sure most of us have things we wished we kept. Sorry about the
piano.

Oh yeah! When I first discovered eBay back in the 90's, I sold several
things that I wish I hadn't...


Been there and done that, too. Most recently, 12 place settings of
Wedgewood Queensware and many accessory and serving pieces, about 250 in
all. I have regrets, but I got a great price. I didn't sell it through
eBay, however. I found a china buyer who would pay top dollar. for mint
condition pieces.

Yeah, I wouldn't sell something like that on eBay, myself. I have 16
settings of a lovely china my dad picked up in Japan during the 50's.
I'm NOT getting rid of that any time soon... :-)


That's to cherish. I have one more set that I plan to sell, 8 place
settings and serving pieces of Chinese export ware.

The one set I'm keeping is a 12 place settings and many serving pieces that
was my mothers English bone china.

No one needs as much china as I had! :-) (Especially since we rarely
entertain.)
