Double From A Penny To A Million - Watches

Double From A Penny To A Million - Watches

Looks like another watch has sold adding another $20 to the stake which takes me up to around $537 now !

As the weather is a bit cooler today I thought I might go do a beach china hunt. When the tide is low you come accross some really nice pieces that normally wouldnt wash up.
My last lot got $21 and the buyer loved them. Some of the pieces were nice enough to put into jewellry or other things and sell on.
So, less chance of this redhead-skin getting burnt today means another china hunt !!

We also had some new additions to our family today, now there is myself, Dad, Chloe and a small group of Blackmoors and celestial fishies.
Chloe is jealous....

Double Your Way To A Million - More To Add

Double Your Way To A Million - More To Add

Well, The Baby-G Casio watch sold immediately (no shock there...!)
So after fees and taking out the percentage of other investment (I put $200 out of the doubling stake into the $300 purchase).
So that is $35 toward my goal.

I also cut up a few broken or damaged plates that were in the house and sold them as mosaic shards. This brought $11.00 after fees
I sold another CD-ROM $8.50 after fees

Chloe (My Baby Bullmastiff) and I went down to the beaches and collected a bunch of Cats Eyes, beach glass and beach China.
This brought the most money !!
For 2 lots I got $19.00 after fees.

Total is $73.50 Cash and $425+ Assets.
On my way to $320 now !!

Later...
Rachel.

PS; Here is Chloe for you veiwing "Pleasure" She has drool issues...
And if you think it looks terrible, try being the one who she leans on.

Double Your Way To A Million - Even More Ideas...

Double Your Way To A Million - Even More Ideas...

I was doing my usual Blog Round yesterday (Sunday) and had a look at Scott's Mosaic Site through the Double to a Penny site and it gave me ideas !

I actually do a lot of Art (Art School does that to you...) and pebble mosaics is one of my favourite things.
Anyway, I also do Agateware stoneware and last year I had a few kiln breakages due to air bubbles...
But what I did was use the Tile Nippers and cut the Agateware plates into mosaic squares. Each little plate (in tiles) sold for upwards of $15 !

So I was looking around and I came accross some old broken plates and have cut them up. I'll list them this week to add to the Doubling Stake !
I've also gone down to the Harbour and picked up a lot of waterworn glass.
Do a search on eBay for Beach Glass...you may get a surprise :D

So thanks for the idea Scott !
