<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9408245, member: 36"]Hit an estate sale at Way to Freakin' early o'clock this morning. Got there half an hour before the pros running the sale did to make sure I got a low number. Got #1.

A lady was there buying for her shop at a local antique center. Figured her for a reseller from the jump. She said she loved lucite, and I handed her some pieces she'd missed.
