ready for spring cleaning

Is it just me or does $27.50 seem pricey for a broom?  Found at Rockridge Home on College Avenue.  Participating in Signs, Signs.

  1. uh, no....

  2. Well, everything costs more these days. I do see they have cane or bamboo handles so perhaps they're designer brooms! Also red or green probably commands a higher price!

  3. Horribly pricey, but I am with Louis - love the display and would happily pay for it.

  4. Maybe they are made in the good ol' USA instead of China.

  5. Most definitely sounds pricey to me... can't afford those brooms! YiKeS! =)

    Thanks so much for stopping by & commenting... Those early years are somewhat lost in my knowledge... I didn't like history in school, but I love it, now! Go figure! LoL! =)

  6. Unfortunately, I can't see the picture but $27.50 does sound like a lot. I am guessing it is one of those swifter things.

  7. Yes, it is too much for a broom (and these look like pretty ordinary brooms to me!).

  8. Ok. I can see them now! I'll take A red one they're cute!

  9. I would pay that for the stand, but not the broom (although they are colourful!)

  10. They look like handmade brooms. Pretty nice if you like hand work.

  11. Nice blog!
    Rather expensive, but I think it is a hype, so you must pay for it, it looks like an Indian plumage!
    Nice weekend,

  13. I dunno. I can't remember if I've ever bought a broom. The implicit "solidarity forever" theme is appealing, though.

  14. I don't know that I've ever seen red or green brooms. Perhaps that increases the price somehow? Nice photo.

  15. I just got back from the flea market and there was a gentleman making brooms that looked a lot like these. Various colors and even brooms with several colors throughout them. They were gorgeous and very well made. He was charging $20. If I had been in the market for a broom, I would have willingly paid that amount for a good quality one. Some of the Amish brooms back East are known to last for 20 years. If these are of the same quality, a dollar a year for 20 years ain't bad!
