Featured Why oh why today. Where is my 100 dollar mad money?

Hi,
I am soooooooooooo miserable. A friend called and said she was at a yardsale around the block from me, she said there is a lot of old stuff that you like. She was going to the farmers market. I flew up to the sale. I did not know where to look first there was stuff all over the house. There was a set of Stangl Magnolia service for 10 and all the serving pieces for 75 dollars. There had to be 50 pieces of Heisey Chintz 3-5 dollars each. Lenox vases 4 dollars each (the old stuff) lenox Christmas ornaments 1 buck each. Boxes and boxes of 30s/40s/50s glass Christmas ornaments, that was in the living room at 25 cents a box. I only had 60 dollars in my wallet. It was 12:30 and they were closing at 1:00. The dining room was filled with old kitchen utensils and pots and pans. The back porch had all kinds of stuff but I grabbed a Jardenier and stand and asked how much 10 dollars SOLD. I bought 15 souvnier spoons for 2 bucks 11 of them are sterling. I bought 8 pieces of Nippon for 20 bucks. I bought 7 pieces of unusual Stangl for 3 bucks
Any way I spent 60 dollars in 8 mins. It took 20 mins to haul the stuff out to my car. I could have spent another 100 but alas. They were locking up the house. They did not know when they were going back. I left them my number. I promised to buy the Stangl and the Christmas stuff. I need to catch my breath. I am pretty sure of all the stuff I bought I know what it is except for the Jardenier. I will put that in the finds.

Wow! That is really something, Greg! I hope they call.

Hi Greg :
Your friend deserves dinner.....on you !
Don't ya think ??

 

I have been there when I bought the fence yesterday luckily I was able to write a check to a couple of dealers. I bought the 72 pieces of fence, 40 pieces of vintage industrial pullys, and three green metal and brass industrial card files, I only had a hundred I pulled out of my ATM and was only able to pull $180 more out because of daily limit and fees so I had to write a couple of checks. One thing I learned is I need to start carrying more money because I have missed some great deals

 

greg 90 is normally silver plate

 

WOW! and sorry.

 

How about a picture of the mark and the item? Is it one of the spoons?

 

Hi,
Yes it is one of the spoons I have to polish first they are all black.

Hi,
Okay only 10 of the spoons are sterling.
Komo, my friend is NOT getting dinner. If she would have stayed she could lent me more money.

Wow, indeed! That sounds marvelous!

 

Sounds like a dream sale to me.
I hope they call you and let you come back in to do more shopping.

Maybe they will box up all the unsold and take it to the municipal dump?

 

Ah, AF, you are always such a little ray of sunshine.

 

Is that what that was????
Just from WHERE did it emanate?

 

Just from WHERE did it emanate?

Well, it is well known that the sun shines out of my arse so maybe that's where the ray came from.

 

Hi,
I have the feeling that they will box it up and put in a storage place until the 4th month bill comes around and then they will desert it. It will go on "Storage Wars"
