McCoy pottery hasn't always been as collectible as it is today. In fact, for most of the company's history -- which officially began in 1899 and ended in 1990 -- its vases were sold to florists for pennies, its casseroles and bowls stocked on dime-store shelves. But in the late 1980s, soon after the company was sold, interest in the fanciful ceramics (and hence their prices) began to rise -- a trend that can be attributed to the late artist Andy Warhol. His collection of outlandish McCoy cookie jars, included in his estate auction, elevated the status of McCoy pottery to art.

High percentage of consumers are planning to purchase gift cards this year. Yes, we love gift cards but guess what businesses love them more.

They're as ubiquitous as Christmas trees, fake snow, and plastic menorahs at the mall: gift cards. Everyone loves 'em, whether you're buying them or receiving them as gifts.

Stores also love them, but not for the reason you might think. Millions of retail dollars go unspent because people forget to use the gift cards, which is quite the present for merchants, who don't have to cough up a dime in merchandise.

Gift Cards: Businesses Love 'Em Even More Than You - NBCMiami.com

First of all you do not need to pay full price for gift cards. You can buy them online at eBay auctions at a discount. You see gift cards don't completely solve the gifting problem some of us have. Some recipients of these gift cards have no use for them and sell them below their face values.

I recommend checking out DeLeon's gift cards and coupons page to see well organized listings of gift cards and certificates. Last time I checked, there were eBay.

What to do? What to do?

Come to think of it.. eBay is a perfect place to sell it. Now the package is pretty big but using either USPS or UPS we still should be able to ship it for less than 25 bucks. So we listed our Cuisinart Custom Pro 11 food Processor Today. It is only a five day listing so we should, hopefully, be shipping it to the lucky new owner next week.
