I know it's winter up north. That's something i'm "lucky" enough to not have to deal with down here. Although I will say, I miss the change of seasons, even if I don't necessarily miss the snow and freezing temps. This being said, the sales have been a little slow down here too. They're still having them , there just haven't been too many decent enough finds to post about. I did manage a few good scores today, finally. Nothing major, but I figured i'd post just to keep this board alive, so to speak. Managed to hit about 18 sales today, before i'd have enough and called it quits. Notable finds were 3 silver dollars, 2 Morgans and a Peace dollar. Paid just under melt at $20 a piece, talked him down from $25. At the same sale I purchased a nice minty red bone trapper Case XX from 2000 for $15 managed to get $5 off of it too, he wanted $20. He had alot of sterling jewelry but it was too high for my taste and the one ring he had pictured was already gone. Went to an "estate sale" waited 20 minutes for them to open the doors, found out it was being run by a local auctioneer, so prices were set accordingly. I basically walked in and out with no purchase. Hit a garage sale on the way back to my neighborhood and found a nice dickies 3XL hooded and lined jacket for $2, just my size. Bought a few other odds and ends at other sales, not really worth mentioning. Then at the last sale of the day, I found 2 bar stools that I found a little interesting. I'd seen similar ones but they were never marked like these were. These were the real deal. They are marked Magis Bombo Design Stefano Giovannoni Made in Italy and are both in excellent condition.The guy I bought them from told me they were very expensive but he just needed to get rid of them because he needed the space. I got them both for $20. Here is a website that shows them-

Here is a photo of the 2 I found-
I think they are ugly because of the colors, i'd rather have black or gray. The wife of course loves them and doesn't want to sell them I told her if I can get $500 for the pair, she's outta gas. We'll see who wins this one.

5 degrees, isn't helping the GS listings.
. How about this say lets sell them and split the money you can buy soemthing you like and I will buy something I like. Gets rid of the stools and gets some dough in your pocket. Not sure if it will fly but Just sayin....
