Been a while since I posted here - had the best buy of my life last night

2. It pays to be nice to people selling things.

This week I saw an ad for a sale at a photo studio. Lots of props and lights. Was to open at 8 am. I was driving by the day before and saw the man setting up a tent outside, so I stop and asked how early I could get in. No early birds he said, not until 8 and not until the next day. I spot a primitive bench with a $20 price on it. I asked if I could buy it now. Sure he says and I've got 2 more inside. Invited me in, got first look and walked away with some nice stuff. He told me I bought all the stuff he didn't think would sell. I knew different.

The next day I got to look at a nice piece of furniture at a house. They were asking $800.. Told them that was a little more than I could spend, so she came up with a lower price, also picked up some other stuff at a great price. The best part was after I handed them the cash, they said they were now on the way to buy a new air conditioner as it must have been close to 100 in the house. Everyone was happy.
