Another good thing with ebay now is Want it now try looking on there to see if anyone wants these items then you can let them know you have it and they may bid I have sold a few items this way also. Good luck in selling them all would bid but costs a fortune in customs and excise when it gets to UK. lol

I guess it's okay for that seller.... he's a powerseller and may not have the time to put effort into the dozens of items he is trying to sell. But if it was just this dish, there could at least be some effort put into the auction listing. I'd probably write something like: "Remember back when WDW was nuthin' but the Magic Kingdom and a few hotels? Not the giant entertainment resort that it is today... the one that requires a battleplan to conquer. Just a nice and relaxing way to spend a few days. Here's a lovely little glass candy dish from that simple era. Look! it's in brand new condition, still in the gift box... as if it just came off the shelf of the Emporium on Main Street. Adorning it are six little works of art showing scenes of a bygone era, and even the old style WDW logo. How neat is that? Go ahead, indulge yourself. Put this in your curio cabinet or on your coffeee table. Sit back and wait for the compliments to come from guests, or just look at it and remember the "good ol' days."

The one I have is from DL not WDW but things that have come up in the past week or so have prevented me from going through the boxes in the garage... ALso a note for Deephill....I used to work for a company similar to ebay but we were part of a non-profit orginization who did this...IF the seller is willing and you REALLY want something, ask them to mark it as a 'gift' on the customs paper. We used to do this all the time for our customers and they weren't charged the tax (or whatever it's called in the UK)!
