Hey DUmbass...where is it written that you have a right to buy something below market value so a profit is ensured for you?
****ing scum,every last one of them.
Yard sales are fun, most don't make a lot of money they just need to get rid of stuff they no longer use. Moving out sales to lesson the load to be moved are a gold mine if one is into crafting.
Flee markets and yard sales are the hagglers Paradise. There is an art to the haggle, been so since town markets arose all over the world. One can haggle with a consignment store, ---Put in a bid for $20.00 for less then the seller has priced it, store calls the seller to see if they will accept the offer. These stores want and need the space and will often talk the seller into accepting a lower price so more merchandise can be moved in.
Example, a old cedar chest in brand new condition, even had the factory warrant and certificate from 1958 on a gas test. Big old chest 4 1/2 feet long, 2 1/2 feet wide ---red velvet interior and a swing shelf. Beautiful piece of furniture, outside all different inlays of wood. Furniture Consignment store, had been there priced at $250.00 for a month. I jokingly put in a bid for $80.00, sales clerk called the owner and I ended up paying $95.00. Later on way home we stopped at Broyhill to price new cedar chests. The cheapest one they had half the size of mine was $150.00. My new chest was 50 years old and never used.
These deals come along just once or twice in a life time, usually by accident , it is the hunt, the capture the haggling and a touchdown score that for us poor folk that makes all this fun.
