As I was shopping around ,had picked up a few things and had them sitting on the counter ready to pay when I said to the workers " i want to check in the back department for furniture", it was in an isolated part of the store . I was walking around in the back ,I didn't see anything to buy , as i was leaving my eyes were drawn to the back of the chair and i spotted the yellow face first and then the name Picasso scrawled across the back , as i walked over to it i seen a piece of masking tape with a price tag of $5.00 written in big black marker , as i looked at the chairs front i asked the attendant " I can buy this chair for five dollars and he replied "yes" , he is a foreigner and doesn't speak English that well ,he replied " five dollars" i just about had a heart attack , i look at him and replied "you know it says Picasso on it ?" , he replied "Yes it says Picasso on it", and chuckled . As fast as I could carried it to the front .I paid for my stuff and left the store . i felt leaving the store lol ,I felt like a crook and was going to be told to put it back it's going into the auction .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
