Deal of the Year
Years ago when we were in Europe we collected a number of very nice Swarovski pieces. Swarovski had not yet been "discovered"; prices for crystal in Europe were incredibly good; and, the dollar was very, very strong, giving us even better deals.
Once we returned to the states, we could no long afford Swarovski. Of course, we had all the crystal we wanted/needed, so it was not an issue.
But then earlier this week, we happened upon a Swarovski miniature train set in the original box, brand new -- for $49 -- in a small second-hand shop. In this particular gift shop, jewelry is priced at 50% of the label. The owner/manager considered this particular Swarovski to be jewelry. So, this cost us $25.
Here is what this "retired" little train is worth elsewhere:
