<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 2610506, member: 36"]That happened to me at an estate sale once. I saw a BIG D&E easter egg necklace in the previews and got there first in line for the jewelry. No necklace. Got plenty of other stuff(and made a pile on it too) but... no necklace. The estate company runner, who I respect, said she had no idea where it went. I suspect someone from the family went in and glommed it, since I doubt you average thief would have gone after a costume necklace and left a heavy gold ring behind. (I certainly didn't! It was $5!) </p><p><br /></p><p>I've had a few flaky FB conversations here and there. It happens. And since I'm female I'm "some scary man". If anyone asks why a guy is after "girl stuff", tell them you're buying it for a friend. (who won't be your friend until she buys it off of you, but you don't have to tell them that.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
