My husband just called me to tell me about a phone call he just received. He had left his number with a lady at an antique store a few weeks ago because she had had a customer in wanting to sell an old Singer treadle. The phone call he just got was from the woman selling the machine. It went like this....
Woman: "Yeah, I got your number from the lady at the antique store. She said you was wantin' to buy an old sewing machine."
Husband: "Yes ma'am. Is the machine you've got in good shape?"
Woman: "Oh yeah, yeah. It's perfect. The string on it ain't hardly wore out at all." (I'm assuming she was talking about the belt)
Husband: "Well how about the cabinet wood, is it all still nice?"
Woman: "Yeah, it's real pretty."
Husband: "Could you email me a few pictures of it if I give you my email address?"
Woman: "Well no I can't do that but I'm gonna put it on eBay so you could look at it there."
Husband: "You can't email me pictures but you can put them on eBay? Anyways, how much are you wanting to get for your machine?"
Woman: "Well now it's real nice and my gramma, she says it's older than her so I was wantin' to get 'bout $15,000 for it."
Husband: "$15,000?!!! Ma'am, the nicest ones out there don't bring but about three, four, maybe five hundred dollars on eBay."
Woman: "Well now, they ain't got what I got."
Husband: "Let me ask you this, is the machine made out of solid gold or something?"
Woman: "Uh, no it ain't gold."
Husband: "Well I can tell you that we're wasting each other's time. Have a nice day."
Some people are seriously crazy! LoL
