I can't believe I took a pic and walked away . . .
Hey Yard Sailors . . .
I hit a slew of sales today, but I wanted to show a pic of one that got away, or maybe I was the one that escaped?
Seth Thomas clock, gold plated face. Not running, missing front glass door. A couple of abrasions on the wood body, but not cracked or dented.
The granddaughter of a neighbor brought it over moments before I saw it according to the lady who was selling it. The price was "I want $50 but will take $40".
I didn't have $40 in my pocket that late on my rounds, but I could have left a deposit and been back in 10 minutes. I didn't make an offer, but I did snap this picture. I saw the exact model with a much less attractive face (but working) on eBay right now with a $220 bid on it and the auction isn't over yet. Here's the link to that auction:

So, if you had not seen the eBay link, would you have bought it or not?
