At a thrift shop a few months ago I bought a vintage chandelier. I thought I could clean it up, or maybe sell it. okay, after a month or so of it sitting around, I knew I just wouldn't get to it. I only paid $19.99. Yes, only $20. The funny thing is, at another thrift store was the twin to the one I just bought, however they were wiser, the price tag on that one was $129.99. I passed.
This story is going somewhere...I promise.
At Christmas-time I bought some cool ornaments at a shop called Common Folk, and I saw this hanging above the register. Wouldn't you know it was the exact same chandelier. When I saw the price tag, I thought, you know, maybe they would be interested in mine... So I left my name and number. When we returned from vacation, I got a call from them, and tonight I sold the chandelier.
No, I didn't make bank. But I kinda want my foot in the door as I have a few other items that I know they will want that I just (seriously) won't get around to fixin' up.
Good for you! Man, I need some serious de-junking around here too. We got rid of about half of our stuff before moving here, and I honestly can't tell anything is gone. I need to get rid of at least another few truckloads. Where does it all come from???
