One time i was browsing in an upscale 2nd hand store and found a beautiful full size quilt. Hand embroidered blocks, hand quilted, hand bound. So lovely. Like new, but a nice old patina to it. (No rips stains, missing stiches, worn areas, but washed until very soft, puckered all over, and just slightly faded.) ten bucks! Unfortunately I didn't have 10 bucks. I did take it to the owner, asked him who did his pricing. He did. I told him it was vastly underpriced. He thanked me kindly, then gave it to me. Next time I went in, he had a trunk of old quilts for $50.00 each. Said he bought all he could find, sold like hotcakes at $50.
