Okay. You made me feel a little better.
I went looking the other day and a guy in an antique barn said he had one.
Condition?
Good
Around$????
They run around $200ish. I haven't sold any for a while.
How can I see it?
I'll bring it in etc....
So, I traveled back the 30 miles and planned on coming back to see it in a few days.
Traveled today, the thirty miles.(and another thirty miles home, in the POURING rain!)
IT WAS THERE!!!! BUT.............$275 and $20 tax.
Let's bargain.
No. Come on. You said $200ish. I am willing to go up to $225
No. $275 and $20 tax. no movement....
How about $250?
No. $275 and $20 tax.
$275.
No. $275 and $20 tax.
I simply felt I was being taken advantage of. He should have at least gone to $250, afterall, NO ONE HAS BEEN INTERESTED but as soon as I showed interest, he figured he had me.
I let it go.
I KNOW! I KNOW! I WANT IT BUT...
I'll play the game and since it is the beginning of the garage sale season, I will keep it in mind.
He has my number. I have his.
I'm dying to have it........but there are too many out there not to give it a chance.
$60? sigh................enjoy it and love it being a bargain on top of a joy.
