Getting it for $40 was too good to be true, and $120 was still a total steal...especially when we got the bar and stools free.

I had put down a deposit, and he tried to talk the seller into giving me my money back and letting him have the couch anyway. Luckily, I was dealing with a seller who has integrity. <br /><br />I guess my SIL was lucky too. He may have been dealing with a seller lacking integrity...but that was balanced by her lack of common sense and business acumen, so he came out ahead in the end. Go figure charging him $80 more for the chair and then giving him a bar he can probably sell for several hundred dollars.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-45982773295811683312011-01-12T13:21:10.146-06:002011-01-12T13:21:10.146-06:00@mooboy: I agree that it was crappy.

She listed the chair for $40 and told my SIL they had a deal. I would have sold it for $40 and learned to research my items more carefully before listing. My word is worth a lot more than $80, but these days there are people who would say that's just plain stupid, I guess.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-32741352065160836652011-01-12T12:10:22.673-06:002011-01-12T12:10:22.673-06:00Score on the AA chair, even at $120.

It's especially bad here in Los Angeles with all the dealers scouring Craigslist for mid century finds.

Mr. Modtomic's brrrrr weather always seems to move due east right towards me. It's 9 degrees here and 5 inches of snow. Fifty years ago my Mom would be making snow ice cream - before we knew about acid rain. Maybe that's why I'm krazy :)Krazy4Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759139762164230288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-13786377408806833832011-01-12T02:49:56.882-06:002011-01-12T02:49:56.882-06:00Holy cows!

It's seriously cold here today. I don't know what to make of the kick *ss green chairs. I'd have snatched them up too.Mr. Modtomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804031065414619749noreply@blogger.com
