Great Yard Sale story
Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:33 amMy 90 yr old mother (who has vision problems) and a couple other friends go yard sale shopping every saturday morning. They are the typical noon time walk around, buy something for a quarter folks. My mother sees a plastic bag marked Stainless Steel Silverware- setting for 8. She is missing a few pieces of her setting, so she asks if it is all there... the guy (about 50 yrs old) says yep, he counted it and it is all there. She bargained him down to Seven dollars and takes it home. Well, the knife blades say Stainless Steel on them,..............but the other 50 or so pieces all say sterling! And, it is a very good patern that is priced well above melt on the Bay... Score one for the elderly half blind lady! (She is keeping the set for fancy dinner parties)
