So Ryan the Destructor, my bull in a china store, broke a chandelier at a garage sale today. An ugly chandelier, no less. Now, I personally feel that if something (glass) is left out and it is accidentally broken, it is just that, an accident. But, not wanting to cause issues with the neighbors, i oblige.
Then she says she was asking $40 for the pair, and she won't split them up! AND IT IS FUGLY! I asked her if she really meant $40, because I didn't think that could possibly be right. She confirmed she was asking $40. I then reminded her, that at garage sales, people don't typically get their asking price! Especially for ugly chandeliers.
Alas, she just stares at me.
So i whip out the checkbook, as I don't want to cause a problem. She won't give me her last name to fill out the check! Um, doesn't she know that I'll be able to see a copy of the check online after she cashes it? At this point, I am certain she is a liberal.
So I hand her the check, marked 'paid in full' of course, go inside, take pictures of them and put them on Craigslist for $50. Oh, the American Way!
