eBay Scavenger

•Illuminated molded-plastic end table: Subtle, minimalist piece looks as though it belongs in the lobby of the Starck-design Delano Hotel in Miami. The auction is for one table, but winning bidder can buy a pair.

•Gilded, king-sized metal headboard: Hollywood glamour leavened by European grace makes this the Grace Kelly of headboards.

•Charming Fifties metal nightstand: Past Present Future in Minneapolis and Ebay's Retro Office Inc. charge a small fortune for mid-century steel furniture, but this piece will still be a bargain after you spend $50-75 to have it powder-coated at an auto-body shop.

•Sturdy blonde wood child's rocker: This chair will fit seamlessly into an interior full of Heywood-Wakefield. A bright Marimekko pillow would turn this into a cozy spot for small fry.

- Thanks, Molly!
