    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    I'm sure I could have acquired many things in life, including getting my way, if I had cried and pouted and stomped my feet.

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    I did speak up ("You cut right in front of me.") I have no power over her or anyone else- I can only empower myself for next time. I also will not change my style (the "telling off" I referred to) or duke it out so that I can obtain a neat old object at a yard sale. And I do have a strategy for...

    You Look It, But Do You Act It?

    There are as many ways to act vintage as there were people alive at the time. I'm myself, and I suppose that many of my personality traits are consistent with those of a 1950's girl scout, like Lizzie. [angel]

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    I want to add that I am fully capable of telling off these thugs, whether in ghetto speak or dry British style sarcastic wit, but I choose not to do so. I don't see any glory or wisdom in stooping to their level, and the wit would be lost on them. And I still wouldn't have the goods.

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    I have met some really nice dealers in my travels. I would hate to give up going to sales, though!

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    There was a garage sale, a few weeks ago, and I was looking at something. A very large man shoved his way behind me, and there wasn't enough room for him to pass me, so he pretty much pushed me forward into the table with his large gut. "Excuse me!" I said and walked away. He began to argue with...

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    I always show up early, and bring a bag or box to keep my "pile."My husband often accompanies me to stand "guard." ;) But when we are all early, being there first doesn't always matter when people are acting like it's a war. I agree the lady should have told the woman I was there first, but...

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    I'm tired of it. It's so discouraging. I understand I am competing with full time ebayers or dealers to get the treasures. I know some people do it full time and not getting enough vintage widgets (that's what it is to them) means not enough food on the table. But I've had it with those that...

    Old houses with bomb shelters

    I wonder then if some properties have underground shelters in the yards unbeknownst to the owners!

    Old houses with bomb shelters

    I got to thinking about 1950's bomb shelters while watching Twilight Zone today. Does anyone live in a house with an old bomb shelter? If so, I'd love to see pics!

    Do you "Adopt" discarded Golden Era Items?

    "ironic 'jewelry artist'" lol I adopt many things, but really, I think, they have adopted me. I can't say no sometimes as if they have a hold on me!

    I am so sorry! I have no doubt that she has what it takes to make a fully recovery! She seems like such a vibrant lady. My prayers are with her.
