Who uses napkin rings anymore?

Bought: $4.50 Sold: $52.76 Fees: $5.86 Profit: $42.40

This was a set of 4 pewter napkin rings, still with their original box. They were made by Seagull Pewter, which is a Canadian manufacturer and they were from 1986. I bought them because I know that vintage Pewter stuff sells, and figured the fact that it had the original box would help. I knew that these would take a while to sell - because, really, who uses napkin rings anymore - but I had an offer made, and I countered and he accepted. I checked his buying history and he has bought A LOT of napkin rings off eBay. I am guessing he runs a brick-and-mortar store that sells these things and he gets some inventory off of eBay. Either way, it was a nice sale, and I am always on the lookout now for small pewter items.
