The listing, Up to 80 Silver 2-inch Headpins for Jewelry Beads Earrings * LAST LOT * has ended.
Winner receives 40 !!! FORTY !!! of these 2-inch long silver plate headpins, but 80+ at 500 credits or more! Perfect for jewelry making, the metal is probably about 24 gauge and is easy to bend with jewelry pliers, yet not so flimsy that they bend if you breathe on them. These are the last I have for Listia.
Some of these are slightly bent -- this is how they arrived, although I did not include any that are badly bent. Still perfectly usable ... I counted out 40 and added a few more to make sure they didn't come up short.
Free US shipping too!
I generally list a few items each night ... check out my FRESH listings at http://www.listia.com/profile/auctions/28303 including more GREAT findings for jewelry makers!
WARNING to bidders ... many bids placed in the last minute never register. At night, when lots of auctions are ending, Listia's servers get overwhelmed and slow down. If you want something PLEASE place your bid at LEAST two minutes before the auction end--before it's too late!
Check this out: http://www.donorschoose.org -- lets you donate to classrooms across the country. Your gifts are tax deductible and they send the information in Jan for your taxes (i.e. you don't have to keep track yourself). Teachers request funding for specific supplies for their classrooms -- lets teachers think of a neat project and get funding for the supplies--and if YOU are a teacher, it would let you make donations to your own project and at least get a tax credit ... since so many teachers spend their own money on classroom supplies anyway!
Just kinda neat if you want to check it out ... look for projects in your home area, or for those for the neediest kids and schools!
