[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9753468, member: 79705"]Ha, Saturday I was browsing while holding a large hand-blown vase (nothing spectacular I don't think, probably 1990s Dept store, but I liked the look). A very sun-worn older gent came up to me and started telling me that it was a nice vase and probably worth something, because he had a friend who buys things at gw and sells them online for "$400-500/wk just messin' around!" So now he was in, clearly trying to do the same and win the lotto on his limited knowledge. House painter by trade. I was pleasant, but he kept following me around trying to give me advice.... :bag: I had to gently tell him I'd been selling on e bay since the 90s. That stopped him....he thought I was a lot younger than I am (I get that often... Which is great other than in these type of situations...:playful:). Then he tried to tell me about how E. Musk is a genius (??) and I veered towards the purses to shake him off... :hilarious::hilarious: Luckily that did the trick, because my hands were too full to text my husband to come loom politely. I don't mind a chat normally, but not when it's a wannabe picker trying to follow me around![/QUOTE]
