oh, estate sale stories. i have been a very bad girl lately. tuesday i went out of my usual area near the end of the sale. no $3 bag. no little shit. but damned if my wasn't caught by this old old hand made milking stool. and was it heavy. hand hewn legs and seat. but the seat was so smooth and flat from time. if i knew more i could tell what kind of wood. the price said $45. darn. so i dragged it to the check out. best price $20?
hmm.
hmm
i have $20 in my pocket and i have no more money for this week.
hmm.
as the kovel's say, it's what you don't get you regret the most. so i got it.and i do not regret it.
did i mention how bad i was last week????
i spent $17 at 2 sales. but, i have already listed 2 things and the deco alarm clock did get a bid. but then i did pay $3. but i sold it for $4.99, so it isn't too bad. and such a neat clock. has a litle roll type cover, like a roll-top desk. but it does need some work.
and there were some really nice buttons in that box i got for $4 and AND i can sell the box i bet.
but i was gonna talk about thursday. it has been a long time since i was there before a sale opened and i forgot what a trip it is. this was a new seller for milwaukee, they was foreigners from the hinter burbs. and they disallowed big bags. still not sure why i could carry mine. they had gallon ice cream buckets. let's just say whil waiting much fun was made of the buckets. and yes i took 1.
wel, it apparently was the estate sale of 2 elderly sisters who traveled. and pakrats as well.
all my goodies were from the basement. i bought an old old wood toolbox, the price was right for the age(look) and i don't think the sisters used it. so who?
and a HUGE bag of buttons-0$4.90. and what fun to go through them. lots of mother-of-pearl ones. 1 purple embelished 1! and then there were the tiny glass buttons. what were those on??? so almost 1/2 were keepable. which is a very good ratio. and some other crap too hard to explain why i bought them, except the vintage card set.
oh, did they have cards. was next to a woman who collects or deals in old airline cards.
hmm.
