<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4027038, member: 51"]The "beasties" sold it for me. This was another "in the cart" "out of the cart" "back in the cart" thrift purchase. Trying only to buy sure things, and just wasn't sure whether this would have resale value or not. In the end, the "beasties" won me over, and although I don't like to do this too much, you can return items with original sales tag, so just took a chance. Since it was $8 and heavy, would hope for at least $40-50 or more if sold.
