I love Tupperware. My sister got a bunch of "vintage" tupperware pieces from my mom when she helped her move 3 years ago. I didn't go help and so I am being punished for not helping by seeing all the tupperware my sister got from my mom. Mom, I guess, didn't want the golden gems anymore and gave the treasure to Holly. It truly is God's way of saying, "you should have helped your mother." I'm constantly reminded of this when I see HOlly use the useful pieces daily. There is so much to say about Tupperware. It is durable, it comes in so many different shapes, sizes, styles, it is useful, they even have Tupperware toys. So I decided I didn't need to wait until my mom, or mother in law died before I got tupperware......I could BUY it. Yes, yes, This is a new concept for me. You all know I love FREE stuff, so naturally I was going to wait for death to set in, but I decided to take the high road and look on ebay for vintage tupperware. I didn't think there would ever be such a thing for sale, because why would you ever give a treasure like that away. It should be something that is kept in the family for centuries and pasted down like a golden horse or something like that, but who knew? Ebay did have the treasure for sale. It was for sale and it was cheap. I could bid on many different pieces for as low as 99 cents or $3.96 so that is exactly what I did. I started bidding and bidding and bidding. Before I knew it I had bid on 10 items.
NOW THE BAD NEWS>>................. They have a double edge sword to this bidding thing. You can't take your bid back. How was I to know? I couldn't just say, "Oh I was just kidding. I didn't really.. really want that piece." No, you can't do that at ebay. You have to keep to you word and if you win you win, but the second part of the sword is SHIPPING. $$$$$$$$$$ The shipping for the items were more than sometimes double the cost of the actual item. For example, one item that I did win was only 99 cents but the shipping is $8.00 what the $^%$^%$## is that all about?? I have no clue where the tupperware is coming from but I'm pretty sure it is HELL. It costs a lot to ship from there and so the devil adds on all sorts of devilish taxes, fees and surcharges. This is the only explanation I can come up with.
So do you have tupperware? Are you giving it away? Can I have it? IS THERE SHIPPING? Are you the devil?
