Saturday morning I am on my get about a mile from his address and my phone rings. It is the FW guy says someone want to look at one of them and bought all five. I was not a happy camper but what can you do. I found out a long time ago that it does no good to get mad. DW and I go on with our day. Sunday DW and I go to an estate sale and a yard sale or two and at this one sale I spot it. That little black case. I act dumb easy for me as I look into the case oh a sewing machine. How much do you want for it? She says I don't know what it is worth. DW says well was you thinking $25 or $30 she yes that would be great. I bought some other things there so I would feel better.
Gary, like you say, it does you no good to get mad. and you probably got the better deal right there. She is gorgeous and a sweet price at that.
