Another Starbucks Gem

On my previous post I talked about that wonderful little find I had with a Starbucks mug. When I was figuring out what to list it for, I decided to see which Starbucks mugs really sell well, and decided to browse through the completeds. I got a good idea of what to look for.
On Monday hubby stayed home with our son, and my daughter and I ran some errands. (Whats errands without a thrift store stop?) So I stopped at Goodwill (Have I mentioned how much I dislike despise Hate Goodwill?).

I spotted this baby right away:

I think If I hadn't recently looked through the Starbucks Completeds, I would have walked right past it. Its a Global City mug from the City Icon Collection.... Starbucks highlighted major cities with special mugs back in 2009. Some cities are worth $20-$30 while a few range in the $200-$900 range. CRAZY right?
So I grabbed it. I crossed my fingers as I looked up the value on eBay, and what do you know... one sold recently for $250!!!! Yay! The Sacramento one is worth more than most.
I was so excited. Goodhellwill of course had to mark the bottom with a Sharpe. It had a nice large $5 written on the bottom. The lady at the checkout gave it to me for 50 cents.

I was able to get the Sharpe mark off with some nail polish remover, and some baking soda. I listed it right away. $230 BIN with best offer. Crossing my fingers. I already have a few watchers.

(**Side note to my fellow readers. See that pink glare on the mug in the picture? Its not a good idea to wear a neon pink shirt when taking photos of reflective objects.)

Here are some other Starbucks City Mugs to look out for:

-South Islands (New Zealand)

-Lisbon

-Seattle

-Jacksonville

-Fort Worth

-Cleveland

-Tampa

-Merida Mexico

-Tampa

 

 

Good luck!
