<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 229171, member: 51"]Went to an estate sale a few weeks ago. It was run by the family (usually a good thing but not so much in this case.) Everything was way overpriced. Tons of low-medium grade clear glass crystal, tables full. Asking in the hundreds. Sale had been open for 6 hours and all the glass appeared untouched. I felt kind of bad for the family because I suppose at some point this would all have been worth more. They even had a few plants -- a large one, nice but nothing crazy, asking $150 (!) I was there pretty late, so possible I missed some interesting things, but I digress...</p><p><br /></p><p>I make one last sweep through, and here is this stool that I hadn't seen with a $5 tag.
