Like the one you went to, the people had no idea how to price anything, despite having an antique dealer help. I really think that woman priced everything too low so her vendors would buy most of it.<br /><br />My family bought a ton of stuff way too cheap. We felt guilty about it too. However, one thing to keep in mind about these sales what that family told us.....<br /><br />They had grown up with all this "clutter" and just did not want to deal with it after their parent's death. Therefore, they really didn't care what it was worth. They priced a lot of it cheap just to ensure somebody would buy it so they wouldn't be stuck with it after the sale. <br /><br />I love, love all those lights you bought though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355964629556443461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-464562679611579552.post-85916199374747820932011-04-11T11:13:05.900-04:002011-04-11T11:13:05.900-04:00You scored big-time!!!
