My husband and I went down to help her out because she needed us to watch our baby granddaughter. It was our first time "experiencing" a yard sale from a seller's standpoint, and what an eye-opener it was! Most of the people were actually very nice, but the haggling was unreal. At one point, a guy came up to me with something marked $1, and he asked in a confirming--not a can-you-give-me-a-break--sort of way, "Fifty cents?" I said, "Seventy-five." And I was mad at myself for giving him any discount at all because I didn't like his attitude!<br /><br />I can't believe how good the blow molds look! I'll miss them when they're sold.: ( And what Nativity crasher? Have you never heard of St. Frosty?<br /><br />xoxo Pat C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16845352436891636391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290906174214104771.post-69949335697594029762012-10-09T08:27:49.304-07:002012-10-09T08:27:49.304-07:00Glad the blow molds were only getting a bath.
