Another piece of ephemera from the lot, this time a guide book from 1972 to a museum in Rome. All these sales add up, and we are less than $150 away from breaking even, with still tons of items to sell.

The Land of Getwuntoo

Sold: $39.99 Fees: $6.80 Profit: $33.19

This was an interesting item. It is a short children's story where the main character talks about how he wishes he could buy a Ford vehicle. It was printed in 1923 and given out with the purchase of any new Fords that year. I found a number of places online where you could buy this for $25, but there were none on eBay, so I decided to list it for $40 and see whether someone was wanting it but didn't know about the other sites. It sold within an hour of being listed, so someone likely had an alert out for it. I normally don't like when things sell right away as it suggest it was too cheap, but I'm very happy with this sale. I don't think I could have got much more for this.
