Jayson and I had just got off the phone discussing trying to push the blog into something useful for our readers and not just Etsy shop nonsense when this wonderful idea popped into my head: lets have the readers pick my next item title.

What a more perfect item and LOL funny then this vintage Schlitz beer pitcher. Let the voting BEGIN!

Help me Price this Camera on Etsy

Jayson — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 05:44:37 +0000

So I dropped by the local crap merchant, and happened upon what I consider to be a super sweet 1988ish polaroid camera.

Took it home, tested it with an old battery pack, and everything seems to be in working order. As I was browsing etsy, I was looking for a similar product and couldn't find it. I then looked on ebay and no luck. The internet wasn't any help either. All of the "cool cams" that I could find were of the red and black or pink and grey variety. Those are priced pretty darn high. This guy makes sales on them at the 80 dollar range. I mean, he is selling them with a pack of film, but those are 20 bones on ebay.

So I have NO CLUE how to price this thing. Normally, I would just slap down a price between 15-25 dollars and be happy with the small profit. However, this thing not only looks sweet, but also seems to be slightly rare.

That's where you come in. What do you think? Any help would be appreciated.

These would be for our kitchen.

I like the look of the greenish tree ones. They remind me of a happy 1940s pre-war home. But maybe they're a tad bit too cartoonish and too grandmaish. The modern design of the second fabric is more mid century, for sure.

Which do you prefer?
