<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 977787, member: 210"]As to the ivory puzzle ball, if a thrift shop is selling it, I would just, ahem, assume it is bone- who is to know? Fabulous find.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't let the runner at the estate sale get to you. I just laugh inside at those kind of people anymore. And sometimes I just laugh out loud at them. There are people who are just nasty to others for no discernible reason. I get this sometimes at yard sales, and I think it is because the seller has been bullied/badgered into selling things at a price they didn't want to, and they take it out on others. I was at a yard sale where a dealer said to the seller "I want to go through your house to see if there is any silver" and she bullied her way in! I was looking at stuff in the yard, and the seller was really nasty to me, for what reason, I have no idea, except maybe she felt foolish because she was bullied by the dealer. Who knows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
