Gosh i had a great week of sales with mustache cups!!!! ...
I paid $170 for 30-some mustache cups (and a few shaving mugs) at an estate auction a few weeks ago ...
They ended up bringing us $1,757.19 on eBay! I couldn't believe my eyes.
Wish all my auctions went like that!!! lol
I remember them being hot a good 5 years ago, then they fizzled out, but apparently they're "in" again, so if you see any out there at the antique malls, go ahead and grab 'em if they're priced low.

Great job! I love hitting the jackpot like that! I don't know about them being hot again - I really think that happens any time you list a 'collection' - sometimes they take off. Had the same thing happen with 8 old purses I listed, separately they would have been lucky to make $9.99 each. The collection sold for several hundred total. Nice to have that happen during the Ebay summer doldrums though!
