It's certainly a sellers' market for these things, too. You said you paid $50 for it. On eBay, I paid $11.50USD + $17.75 shipping (but the parcel included a pair of china candlesticks as well) and it came from Washington state. I'm in Canada and even with the exchange rates, I think I did rather well on this purchase! There's a few books which look REELY good on Amazon.com if you want to learn more about Royal Copley; each of the ones I saw there also included both a history of the company and a price guide with pictures of the pieces they produced. Just FYI........ mb Dear Deer Lover,

Signed up for Goodreads, made sure to "uncheck all" in the list of Gmail contacts that I could invite, then only checked two people that I knew would be interested. Today I find that my *entire* list has been spammed! I found your blog post because the same thing happened to me.

(it came out pink, actually) :o) It's crazy what a difference having a vitamix makes. The smoothies are so much better, and I am just making tons of them because it is so easy. And the more I make them, the more I crave them. Today i drank 1.5 litres of green smoothie! I'm going to turn green! haha Just have to make sure that I am getting lots of variety with them. Using different greens (kales, spinach, dandelion, bok choy, cilantro & parsley) and adding some random fruits into my usual mix of banana/frozen blueberries/frozen strawberries...have been trying papaya and pears and apples mostly. the papaya makes for a wonderful texture.
