I sell a lot of stuff that simply seems to "disappear" once it is packed and shipped at the post office. I almost never have the opportunity to see what its new owner does with it.
I recently sold a slide collection with a few originals from a WWII soldier, stationed in the Galapagos. The buyer asked me a few more questions about the lot, and I was able to dig up some more info on the soldier from other paperwork in the lot. With a name (and a broader knowledge of WWII than I have!), the buyer was able to piece together a nice blog posting about the soldier.
It's nice to see the slides within an historical context. Check out: portraitsofwar.wordpress.com
