I’m not sure I can put into words (AR least one I can use here) how bad this today was. I was selling at the flea…I’m not sure if its the economy…or if the media has everyone spooked about the swine flu. Maybe just bad luck? But it was I think my worst day at this flea EVER! After space and help I cleared right at 300…normally that figure is something around 1k. It was like a ghost town (see pic on blog…taken at 10am).
Yesterday at sales was also slow…I had one great (better then great?) find. But otherwise not to many people were out selling. I think it was the chance of rain the news hyped all week (it didn’t rain one drop where I was!). Because I went to a neighborhood sale and about 60% of the houses that had signs in front (from the agent) no one was out. Oh well…what can you do? I wasn’t to upset…I found my tool box first thing so everything after that was gravy…

Gerstner machinist tool box $50 And the top section is full of tools!! I saw it walked right over…saw the tools inside…asked the price…the seller mulled about for a few seconds and thought it over. All the while I kept thinking…say something under $200…please say something low! He came back with 50 I didn’t try to beat him up over the price…I might have been able to get it for $40 but when you find that kind of deal…just buy it! I got that out of there fast! Happy to find that set!! And because I have no use for it I’m going to sell it…even though it is really cool…really really cool! It even has the keys!
and that was my weekend. I hope yours was good!
