<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 2360053, member: 210"]I am glad somebody made out better than me today. Did you ever go all the wrong places you possibly could on a day that reached 96 degrees? That was me. There was so much going on that I tried to use probability. I went to a Masonic lodge sale that was a disaster. I found some rice pearls and some other freshwater pearls that had the clasps removed. The guy wanted a stupid amount, we agreed on a price for "charity."</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I went to a church sale. A very poor church sale. It was fill a box for $10. I did get a small Lenox bowl and a nice Andrea Sadek fairy lamp and a Vera Bradely purse (going to the consignment store.) It was mostly very bad clothing, sad. i was the very first one there, too, so I didn't miss anything. Spent $10 on a box.</p><p><br /></p><p>An estate sale was down the road, people were waiting to get in. Everybody was milling around, and finally one guy said they were giving out tickets in the back. The lady next to me and I went and got said tickets. When they started letting people in, they didn't go by the ticket numbers. Even if you didn't have a ticket, you got in before people with tickets if you were in line before them. The place was very small with NO air conditioning. I things were in box lots, and I did get some Provence soaps and Estee Lauder mini perfumes, soaps, and powder, unused. I got two vintage white cotton bedspreads and some a Nippon tea pot, spent a total of $18.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there was the surreal yard sale that advertised over 5,000 items. I figured it was a store that went out of business, wrong. I should have gone there first. It did look like the lady had a booth at an antique store at one point, and I missed jewelry. The ladies at the jewelry table were not masked and coughed a lot (probably smokers). I stayed away as much as I could from that. The ladies looked at my feet and asked what size shoe I wore because they had a PILE of old shoes, some in boxes, in the back, that I would never even look at. I told them I have problem feet and can only wear certain shoes (true.) As I was leaving, somebody hit someone else's parked car and tried to leave, hit and run. Bought a bag of jewelry that was left over for $10.</p><p><br /></p><p>I couldn't get home due to shore traffic backed up trying to get into two shore towns, took a back woods detour and was ecstatic to be home. There is a lot going on tomorrow, but I don't think I will be out.... traffic here horrific.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
