The morning in the thrift shop, as I suspected many people are clearing their curbs of the trash left over from the weekend's "TRASH TO TREASURE". So no end to unpacking rubbish and discouragement, that and it being month end, half-used tubes of toothpaste, bars of soap, bottles of scope, rusty razors, empty shampoo, I should be on the door turning these people away...
But - I find this:
Too good to leave behind, and nobody wants to price it for me...In the end, fifty cents.
The item appears new. Now - zoom into the new-price-tag in the bottom right corner. That's right, $1, 240.00.
Now to find the person I can best offend with this...there's not enough action in my world to require it, but somebody has to want it...given the number of Burlesque Dancers in town it shouldn't be a problem.
One other find, a fine copy of "The ascent of Everest" by John Hunt, 1954, First Edition and signed by the author. By donation. Doing a little research online I find another copy in similar condition, priced near enough to $900.00. Treasure, for sure, but the first treasure of the day made for a better picture...
