So the last time I went to this sale, I found the 1921 portable Victrola. The house was packed last time, and they ended up having a second installment today, with more stuff that wasn't out last time. In the pictures online, I saw this vintage tin and plastic monkey on a wheel. That would be awesome I thought. However it always either turns out to be too expensive, or someone gets it before me. So, numbers were handed out, and right as I was abut to get my number, this woman comes running up, "Wait wait! Actually, I should get that number 'cuz I was here FIRST!"
"No you weren't" said another guy. "I was here first, since 4:30!" But she pushed her way through and got one number ahead of me. Ehhh, you know, not that big a deal. Little did I know there was more to come. It was almost 9:00, and another woman comes up and says "Oh, I was in the car and didn't know I had to get a number, but I'm with this guy." (Yeah right, your with the guy who got #4 and you have no idea how these sales work?) Believe it or not, she cuts right in! But then it's 9:00 and I go in, AND THERE IT IS!!!! The monkey. And it's only $35!!! Totally made my day! I make my way down to the basement and find a shelf of old mason jars with zinc lids. I'm looking through them and, Lo and behold, look who walks up. That same woman who "didn't know you had to get a number." "I'm buying all the jars she says" "Well I've been looking through these for a few minutes, so you really can't just-" "I"M BUYING these jars. I don't even know why we are having this conversation" LADY PUH-LEEEEASE! give me a break I thought. I ended up taking the good jars, including two zinc mason top jars and some blue jars. Just to make it clear, she hadn't put a hold or anything on these jars. She just walked in and assumed the whole shelf could be hers, regardless. But anyways, it was a good day, got some awesome stuff!
