Lucky you-I am so jealous of everyone who finds great deals at yard sales and thrift shops-I must have went to half a dozen thrift stores yesterday and nothing :(

Lucky you....I haven't found anything good yet.
I answered a Craigs list ad to check out some fabric. She wanted $300.00 FIRM for a box of crap :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
I wonder if she still has that box of fabric :evil: :evil: :evil: probably.......

She said 'I think they're lying to you' or something to that effect. I said 'I don't think so'. After her saying that, I was sorry that I bought anything. I really didn't want it, but felt obligated to buy something. My husband tells me I'm nuts when I buy things out of obligation.

You did score big time. Good for you.

I use to buy items because I felt obligated, but after a couple of times I just sucked it up and walked away.

Most of what I find are from people who are moving and need to reduce their stash. Keep looking, the bargains are out there! Good luck.
