An Estate Sale Encounter

[mccoysnina]

A neighbor is moving and had a moving/estate sale.  Aside from the shock of wondering if my house would be that crammed full when I was his age, I didn't find much.  Till I went to go upstairs.  He had a framed print of a bullfight with a very graphic scene of a bull fight. A real stopper, priced $150.  I burst out laughing and he wanted to know why.  I told him I had that exact scene on a souvinir scarf I picked up at a thrift shop a year or so ago.  Only I paid like $2 for it.
Neighbor said it was a famous scene, must be why it ended up on the scarf and the print.  But I like my price better.  Maybe I will dig out one of the frames I found at thrifts and hang the scarf somewhere.  For like $5 instead of $150.

Oh- go ahead and hang your scarf and for fun, add a pricey price tag on the frame.

Never thought about adding a price tag to it.  That might help keep DH off my back about my thrift finds.  He is never impressed unless he sees the same thing selling on ebay for big $$$.  I can point out that neighbor, an appraisor, asked that much for his poster.
