<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 9465551, member: 23"]There was a local "antique" store here for about 20 years. The two owners would travel over to England and Sweden and buy busted up antique furniture. They'd bring it home, cobble together 'decor' pieces, slap on a coat of polyurethane and sell each piece for $1500-$2500 to home decorators in NYC. They made a killing and it always pained me to see, but, hey, those broken up bits were probably headed for the dump anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
