Repeat eBay Sale? UPDATED

The same two charts ("Medallions" and "Today is Someday") are up on eBay again, sold by the same seller.  I don't know if the buyer of last week's sale didn't pay up or if the seller is a shop with multiple copies of the charts.  The current price is $2.84 with $2.39 extra for shipping costs.

UPDATE:  This sale ended with a final bid of $10.49 with $2.39 in shipping.  That's not bad for two of the Needle Adventures charts from The Artists Collection.

Two New Needle Adventures Charts on eBay UPDATED

Yesterday I discovered an eBay auction for two of Loretta's Needle Adventures charts.  Today is Someday and Medallions are both for sale in the same auction.  The starting price is ninety-nine cents plus $2.39 in shipping, which is a very good price for two designs.

As always, although I might know the seller of Loretta's designs, I have no financial interest in any eBay sales.  Hope these two charts go home with a fan of Loretta Spears' designs or spark interest in her work from someone who is new to her charms.

UPDATE:  These two charts sold for $11.01 plus $2.39 shipping.  Congratulations to the winner!
