<p>[QUOTE="Christmasjoy, post: 1221833, member: 164"]I remember years ago I was at a Swap Meet and I passed by a table that a closed box with "Antique Doll .. please ask for help" written on the top. I asked her if I could open it and she stood right by me as I opened the lid ... she immediately said loudly " BE VERY CAREFUL .. IT'S VERY OLD AND DELICATE !!!" I recognized the doll as a modern repro on sight but lifted it from the box .. she was yelling out to be careful the whole time in between saying that she wanted $200 for it and that it was a BARGAIN !! .. this was in the 1980's when these dolls were prolific. Anyway, I informed her that it wasn't old but a reproduction and she roughly snatched the doll from my hands, crammed it roughly back in the box and glared at me .. I smiled at her sweetly and moved on .... Joy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
