My daughter purchased a pretty mid century modern piece of cased art glass for me here and had it shipped to my address. It arrived yesterday in perfect condition. The seller must have been in a hurry to ship it and did not check the piece before packaging. On the bottom was a large $2.99 price sticker from Goodwill. (This is the second time an eBay purchase had a cheap price sticker left on the item).
Had to laugh since eBay sellers are known to haunt certain resale stores.
Won't disclose what my daughter paid for it. Rest assured the seller did receive positive feedback.
I love the piece and added it to my collection. I have over 200 pieces of art glass, some huge, some small, cobalt, deep red, greens, very bright sun yellow, bright orange, a virtual feast of color. I change my room accents every six months throughout my whole house so I can enjoy them all. Thank the gods for Swiffer Dusters

Still a lot of work to get it from Goodwell to you, I would add an additional $25 for my work, so my price would be $39.99 with free shipping. take it or leave it. Shipping the item is more than $2.99 so you can't compare in store to online pricing.

That sounds lovely. Back when I was first using Ebay I collected colored glassware. Never as an expert, just pieces in various color lines. I filled two cabinets and then quit. We rarely have company for dinner, or least formal dinner, so the pieces don't get used. They are about as useful as my small collection of minerals. But they are pretty.

For all you know it was purchased years ago. It's like vintage items that have original store stickers from the era it was produced. Doesn't mean the seller paid that little. I've sold items with those orig stickers of 1.99 or so. I paid alot more than that for the item.ummm, from the OP:
"On the bottom was a large $2.99 price sticker from Goodwill."
If it were an original store sticker I don't think this thread would have happened.
That said...I frequently have books and booklets with the original price on the cover. I've never had anyone (yet!) ask why I'm selling a 25 cent book for $8-$10. I'm guessing they're smart enough to realize that prices in 1949 aren't the same as today's prices lol
Last Christmas I got all my (adult) children Christmas ornaments from the actual year of their birth on ebay which all arrived with the original price intact, most $5.99 so I'm sure my kids did not realize I paid up to $30 on some in 2017.
