Please help me check this paper for grammer and puctuation mistakes!!!? Maegan Young Gibson, Candice English 101-91 February 6, 2009 Discovery What does the word discovery mean? It actually has two different definitions. If we break down the word “discovery” we will find its first meaning used in this essay. The prefix “dis” means to undo or do the opposite of. The base word is “cover” which means to hide or conceal. If you discover something, you will be uncovering it or bringing it out of hiding. Discoveries are made every day by people similar to you and I. Clearly then, we don’t have to make a discovery that modernizes society. It can be a simple, personal discovery that is worth something to you as the person. Likewise, the 1940’s bottles Whitney and I tripped over surprised us, because they created a great bonding experience and were of high value. Whitney and I were always together. We practically lived at my house. We had grown up together and bonded over the years, but the best bonding experience was on the day we discovered brown and blue tinted glass bottles while looking for my dauchsand. Well, I actually tripped over them while walking in the woods looking for that silly dog. We laughed about my fall while looking back to see that it was something more than a root or a hole. We excitedly dug at them and the ground to loosen the Earth’s grip. Together we were thinking we had found just a piece of broken glass that was worthless, but instead was three intact bottles that had a distinct shape and color not specific to our time. So, we took them to my mom who had just arrived home. We told my mom that we had just found these pretty colored bottles in the woods beside the house. She said that they looked like old alcohol bottles that someone had thrown out. Through the years they had been buried under dense woods and dirt just waiting on us two curious girls to find. She told us just to throw them away, but we decided against it and put them in a special hiding place that only we knew about. Whitney and I had just been upset because my dog was missing, laughing while we dug up our discovery, bummed about my mother saying they were worthless, and had a great time bonding through it all. Only later were we elated to find out about our old glass bottles having such worth and value. At the close of a party at my house one night, Whitney and I overheard a man saying that he collected glass and glass bottles from various times. He said that they were considered antiques and some worth money. We asked the man to take a look at our bottles for an estimate of worth. We went to our secret hiding place and carefully picked them up and brought them inside where he was waiting on us to return. He said that the bluish color and style appeared to be nineteen fourties and was of a popular color for that time. With big grins on our faces, we asked him to tell us how much they were worth. He tells us that we have a rare find that are worth about one hundred or so dollars. He also told us that we might could get that much money or more on an antique website that he frequently visited. That was all we needed to hear. We quickly wrote down the information and thanked the man for his time. The next day we gently cleaned the bottles and made them look as if they had been sitting on our table for years. We took a good picture of the decorative bottles making sure to catch sunlight through them so they seem to brighten the room. We then posted the picture to an online antique auction and waited. By the end of the week we already had twenty-three bids on the old bottles. By the end of our auction, we had a total of fifty-seven bids with our bottles now totaling over two hundred thirty dollars. We gladly contacted the winner and found out where to ship them and gave him our address to send the money to. It arrived about a week later and we were so excited to see that something no longer part of our active lives get turned into cash. We got a great chance to bond that day and made a little money throughout the whole process. We still see each other often and laugh about our special discovery saying that the trash to treasure phrase is true and how much fun we had together. We learned a lot about ourselves and each other through our bonding experience and that was a value of worth within, but it doesn’t hurt that we also got paid to do it.

Where in NY to sell or have appraised a unique old wooden picture frame that seems to have value? (Not online! I have some old things to sell. I don't want to do it online. I want to be able to TAKE the things to an expert dealer in NYC, where they can tell me, just like on Antiques Roadshow on PBS, whether something has value or not, and how I can sell it. I have a large old wooden beautiful picture frame. I have 3 old typewriters of various makes and models. I have old books too. Again, I don't want to advertise these things online. I don't have the means to take pictures of them, and I don't want to have to price, pack and deliver to a buyer, only to have complications. I want to take my items IN PERSON to professional dealers, stores, auction houses, whatever its recommended I take them. Thanks for your advice.

Where is a good place to buy vintage cameras, other than ebay? So I have just gotten fed up with ebay snipers outbidding me at the last second. I refuse to use the sniping program because it is unfair. I love old cameras and love collecting them, not so much for the dollar value but because I enjoy looking at them and using them. I live on an island where there really aren't any antique stores or thrift stores. I often browse Shopgoodwill.com and Keh.com. Where else online can I find a place that sells or auctions vintage cameras?

Where does Goodwill take/send the "Good" stuff?? Anyone who shops @ Goodwill knows, they never put out the "good" items, that come in as donations. (example: expensive designer brands, high quality jewlery with real gems, quality antiques and modern technology). These items also don't seem to show up often at their online auction site shopgoodwill.com ( yep, they have an online auction site. Can we say...greedy? ). So, where do the high quality items go? To employees? To store owners? To private collectors? to ebay? Where is it all going?? And, more importantly... How do I get on their "private" lists? :D

Why do people overspend (IMHO) on eBay? I've been looking at iPod shuffles, the new ones that are teeny tiny OMG I can't find it it's that small. On eBay they're going for more than the price Apple is charging. I've seen this with other items as well that are not hard to find in stores. I know everyone does not live near a mall, but what gives? Is there something about eBay that makes people not research the things they want to buy before they buy items that are readily available (as opposed to antiques, hard to find items, collectibles)? I'm not knocking eBay, or the buyers and sellers - I've held some very successful auctions in the past, but it is strange to see what people are paying for stuff that they can go out and buy at the store without the extra fees, seller identity, etc. Anyone out there have the experience where it was worth it to pay the extra $ for something on eBay that also was in the stores? Was it a time or a easier to buy online situation? Serious answers please.
