Rusty,
In the past months, I have been buying Harbour Lights from the EBay Auction to get Lower Flag Numbers! But, during that process of buying, I was not selling the Old for the New but only buying the New Lower Flag Numbers! So, I have quite a Collection of Harbour Lights Duplicates!
When I looked at EBay this past month, I knew maybe others did the same and/or was hoping to make money, during the Holidays!
Personally, I did not plan on making money over the Holidays but, was hoping to sell them!
With the number of posting on EBay and the variety of pieces, then so many auctions ending with no bids? I would say, maybe the Christmas Shopper started shopping early this year!
Just guessing from past years and the US Post Office overload during the Holidays! That, EBay's being the source for Christmas Shoppers! That the Time to Buy would be Now! But, then EBay has a Buyers Market of Merchandise, the right Prices, but not enough Buyers!
