In The Spotlight Michael Schwartz Self-described \"hunter- gatherer\" Linda Christy stays busy. Antiques are her quarry, and she gathers checks from buyers around the world. The 59-year-old retired art teacher complements her keen eye with a curiosity about what other people might find appealing and has created a lucrative niche on eBay. \"I'm small potatoes in the grand scheme of things,\" Christy said, comparing herself to people who sell thousands of items on the Internet auction site. \"But it's the excitement of going out and finding a treasure, maybe a little treasure, that has more value than you paid.\" While the volume of her sales is not great, what she does sell (especially when compared to what she paid for it) reveals her acumen. One of the first things she bought about 10 years ago was an Amish bonnet she found at a yard sale near her Narvon home. She paid $1 and sold it to a bonnet-maker, who wanted to recreate the design, for $25. An instruction book for a 1931 Ford Model A fetched $26. She paid a quarter. Three dollars bought an Arts- and- Crafts magazine table at a yard sale; an Oregon dealer paid $400 for it. Christy also sells items for her friends.
