The estate sales lines are getting wicked crazy. I am talking insanity at it highest form. I waited in line 2 hours last week and was #11. It is like the day after Thanksgiving otherwise know as Black Friday but without the ad or a map of the store. You line up at ungodly hours to be met by some of the most fierce and grumpy people I have ever encountered, who are all after the same handful of items, that may or may not be in the right location. Meaning the Pyrex could be located in the bathroom closet or the coveted vintage Danish Modern chair could be upstairs in a room buried under a pile of stuffed Pandas (true story).
Look I may be complaining but guess who keeps getting up earlier and earlier. Yep, this gal! The last estate sale I went to the people in line ahead of me had camped out overnight. Just like Black Fiday! But this is what I found.
I found a set of menu letters for the NOS Dr Pepper menu I found some time ago. I put it up in my kitchen with a fun phrase. Love it!
I also brought home some Pyrex. The sandalwood bowl and the space saver lid! I looked all over for the space saver but did not find it. Not much of a haul for a 2 hour wait but, I'll take what I can get. Guess who is getting up extra early tomorrow? Me!

You are a tough one to get up so early and battle at the estate sale!! Yay on the space saver lid, not easy to find those. And the Sandalwood--I'm a big fan of it myself! (I'm short the 444.)

It was priced low I think bc they thought the sandalwood was not that collectible, but it is and kinda hard to find too! I want the fridge set.
DeleteOh yes, the fridgie set. I'm sure that one will only be in my dreams. There's one on ebay for a mere $500!
DeleteEstate sales are getting cray-cray here as well. Like, people pay others to camp out overnight to get one of the early numbers crazy. I am crazy but not that crazy. The competition seems to be getting fiercer once in the sale, too. I have seen pushing, showing, jumping over couches to get ahead of others, and oh yes, had someone take something out of my hands.
ReplyDeleteStill, I admit I'd wait two hours for a space saver lid. Those things are hard to come by!
I saw a man push a lady to the ground over something in a box at a sale. He would have pushed the wrong lady if it had been me lol I might have pushed back :) I agree it is not that serious....most of the time. But I see the same ppl super aggressive at every sale, boggles my mind.
