Right! That's my other pet peeve, no price tags. Especially when I ask how much and they say to make an offer, then turn it down!

I did buy a display case, no price, of course. He said $8, I said how about $5. He said $7, I countered $5, He said $6, I countered $5. He sold it for $5. Hmmm. Next time, put a price tag on it, lol. Made me stubborn.

Hmm. If the woman was willing to sell the fabric, I'd offer to bring it out for her. I love garage sales! I work every other weekend 7a-7p, so good thing for DH or I would have gone to a lot more! I only went to a few this year. The majority of them all seemed to be on the weekends that I worked. Oh well, there's always next year or Goodwill!

I did offered to help her drag it out and she had 3 other ladies to help her but they didn't "feel" like it. Then i found out that it was mostly polysters knit, dress patterns, etc. wasn't sure if any cottons was in it.
