Pixie Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 My very first ebay item. They changed the sign up rules so that I can actually get an account. so...remembering a thread somewhere on mrs.s, about the foxfire books, i went and looked them up. They had books 1-6 and i just won them. Its a little more than I wanted to pay, but there were a lot of other people that wanted them too. heh heh well, I am looking forward to readig them! and saving up for the next 6. Quote Link to post
Deb2of9 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I am happy for you. I hope it was only a little more than you wanted to spend and not alot more. Quote Link to post
Pixie Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Well, looking back, I might have gotten them for cheaper...if I had bid differently, but for a first time ebay buyer, and first time seller, I am learning as i go. Still, the books have all thier pages, and I am paying considerably less than what they cost new. Quote Link to post
Aint2nuts Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 What are the foxfire books about? Quote Link to post
goatherder Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 The Foxfire books were written by high school students in Appalachia. They interviewed old timers about how things were done in the "olden days". They are a treasure trove of practical wisdom about many skills and knowledge that has been virtually lost today. If you want to know about planting by the signs, hog butchering, chair seat making, hunting, log cabin building, or almost any other such topic, the Foxfire books are the place to look. I used to have a set that somehow disappeared in moving, but I've been rebuilding it through yard sale and thrift shop finds. Quote Link to post
