Ooh, I Messed Up

So, I've been doing the eBay thing, right? A few weeks ago, I bought a Hallmark Santa Claus Teapot designed by Mary Engelbreit for $2 at a garage sale. I finally get around to listing it and I start the bidding at $4.99. A week later, final selling price is $11.61. Not bad, really... until I saw the retail price on the box while I was packaging it. $68.00

Yeah, this thing retailed for $68.00! Had I known that, I would have put a higher starting bid on it and mentioned the retail in the ad.

Oh, well. I still netted over $8 on the deal. That's $8 I didn't have before.
