11. Wow - congrats. I'm in flogging mode. I hit the mother lode of yard sales

on Saturday with so much good stuff I didn't know what to grab first. There was a huge blown glass vase that caught my eye because I thought I recognized the style as a particularly good glass blower. I searched for a signature and couldn't find one and since I have trouble selling unsigned glass I put it down. A little while later I decided to take a chance on it anyway and went back just in time to see a lady pick it up to buy. I also spotted the signature on the side. I waited and hoped she would put it down, but no such luck. She paid $5 for it. $5. The thing could be worth thousands. Flog, flog, flog. If I had know it would go so cheaply I would have picked it up the second I saw it. Oh, well. Got lots of good stuff, but that vase is going to haunt me for awhile.
