<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 359113, member: 78"]Hi Marie,</p><p> Only one time I almost said something. My favorite seller at a flea market always has stuff that is so cheap. I used to tell her about her prices and she would raise them. Anything I was interested in she would always sell it to me at her price even </p><p>when I would tell her it was worth more. One time I was late to the sale and going by another "friend" he asked me to look at something and asked if it was real. I was shocked to see a stack of Fiestaware mixing bowls in perfect condition worth about 1000 bucks at the time. I told him it was the real deal. The I saw the piece of tape with 20 dollars on the box they were in. I was heart broken it was the same unusual type that my favorite seller used! When I got to her booth several minutes later I wanted to tell her about the other dealer since he got it with a discount! I wanted to tell her about her bowls being worth 750 dollars to him. They were sold within the hour. I was so saddened. I was so tempted to go back and buy them for 500 dollars with my discount and give the other lady 250 dollars.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
