Vintage General Electric Wall Clock

Bought: $3.00 Sold: $53.99 Fees: $4.65 Profit: $46.34

I picked this up at the Glebe garage sale this year. The first street I turned on to, at the first house I stopped at, I saw this sitting in a box. The homeowner was still unpacking her boxes, and I asked how much she wanted for it. I was amazed when she said $3. I asked her if it worked, and she said she didn't know, but it was working when it came off the wall at the cottage. This clock is an amazing retro piece from the 50's or 60's with that great green colour, and simple design. This model typically sells on eBay for about $50. I asked $70, but after some haggling took $54 for it - it is hard to argue with $50 profit.
