    Default Buttons for sale

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=320439894692
    I have a current auction on ebay for a good size lot of buttons.
    4.5 pounds of them. Mixed sizes and colors.
    Great for sewing projects or craft ideas.
    I will ship them the cheapest way possible.
    I normally only sell USA but I will consider Canada if you email me first either through ebay or here to get a shipping quote.

    I love old buttons. I just have too many of them.
    If you do some research on ebay for ended auctions, you will see some big $$ when they get put up, in bigger pound lots.
    I rarely sew anymore unless it is some mending.
    But I do knit and crochet ,especially this time of year

    I'm still thinking. Don't use buttons much anymore - styles are definitely different - think my purchase would be to enjoy the buttons for their personalities and uniqueness!!

    If you PM, and give me the zipcode, I would be glad to get you a shipping quote.
    I think they can go in a usps box easy, that is the same price no matter the distance. Flat rate. Not sure I have a box here but I could get one tomorrow at the post office and check for you.

    I will get a box tomorrow. I will take the buttons with me, so I can find a flat rate box to fit them.
    I would like to give you a quote right now, but I am not sure of the dimensions of the flat rate boxes.
    I usually ship media for books and I can figure them real quick at home. Not so good with the flat rate boxes.

    I just pulled out 19 more pounds of buttons.
    Not sure how to put them up.
    Thinking of breaking down into 2 or 3 lots.
    I am not a button person so not real sure how to lot them.
    Just going to do a lot and call it *estate lot as found*
