Update on Lizzie Borden Auction Items
There is a sucker born every minute. Evidence? The poor joes who fell for these recent ebay auctions. The bloody clock sold for $550 The breadmaker/icepick/cup sold for $500 The jury photo sold for a whopping $1600 WOW!
Lizzie Borden Owned Items for Sale?
A few new auction items caught my eye today. They are being sold on eBay as a LiveAuction, which means you have to register for the sales through the auction house that is selling the items. There is one really cool item and the rest are without provenance, and therefore probably hooey. Up for your […]
Watercolor of Lizzie Borden for Sale
Well . . . that got your attention, didn’t it? It got mine! When I went to the auction site, I found, to my dismay, that this image is not Lizzie Borden at all. At least not the Fall River woman who this blog is named for. Not the accused hatchet murderess. Not this lady. […]
Lizzie Borden Soil
You can now own genuine sand from the Lizzie Borden B&B, or so they say, in addition to practically any other place you can think of, all preserved in a keychain or magnet. FootWhere Link. Wholesale only.
Haunted Lizzie Borden Purse Appears Again
It didn’t sell on eBay the first time because people saw it for what it was. Now it is for sale again. And the seller really wants to get rid of it, they say, but hasn’t lowered the price of $350. Alas. You too can have bad luck if you buy this purse. And not […]
Lizzie Portrait for Sale?
On eBay right now is a framed image of a woman for sale: Vintage Oval Convex Curved Bubble Glass Picture Frame. Seems the interest was not going as well as the seller wanted so they added this note on December 29th: “Could this photo be of Lizzie Borden? I did a Google search and the […]
New Porter Reprint (pricey!)
I found this somewhat new publication: a 2006 reprint of Porter’s Fall River Tragedy, by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. It is overpriced at $95, but I really like the cover! Porter, Edwin, H. The Fall River Tragedy. A History of The Borden Murders. 1584775467. 2006 ISBN 1584775467 Porter, Edwin, H., Reporter. The Fall River Tragedy: […]
Lizzie in the Library
This auction is for a book that is quite interesting but if you wish to read it I would suggest that you Interlibrary loan it for free. It really isn’t a book to buy at a premium as it is a very short reference work that is only 18 pages long. Starting bid is $49.95 […]
Lizzie’s Houseplans?
Says the auction title: Lizzy Borden Mansion. Orig. Blueprints. One of a Kind. Only $3000! Not an auspicious start to a very expensive offering when they get the spelling of the main character’s name wrong! Lots of errors in the listing too. See if you can spot them. Up for auction is a piece of […]
Not Lizzie Borden
It all started with a stolen sign. On March 17th, 2006, a seller on eBay, one leejeansct (powerseller) put up for sale one Lizzie Borden B&B metal street sign. From their auction ad: Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast Museum Mass Metal Sign. There really is a bed & Breakfast with Museum, located in Fall River, […]
