I stopped at a particular gift shop in the Upper Penninsula on our way home from vacation because I knew that she was a Harbour Lights dealer. She always has a good selection to choose from...so stopped to add to my collection!
She had a sign that all HLs were 30% off.

I thought I was so lucky to run into such a sale,but during our conversation I found out she was getting rid of ALL her HLs. She said she would no longer be a dealer because the bottom had dropped out of the collectibles. Ebay came up and she agreed that it really did hurt, especially the dumping.

She then went on to tell me that 2 women came in and sat all day long buying just about everything that she had left. She didn't know if they were collectors or were there scarfing them up to sell on ebay.

I got some nice pieces at a good price,but said that I don't have that to look forward to any longer when we go up there to visit!
