The Antique Oak library desk, sold, lady, driving in from Strathmore, inquisitive about every detail, I'm letting it go cheap and cheaper...
It needs a bit of TLC, a couple of hours work for a competent crafts-person, tops, she asks me "How much will it cost to get fixed?".
She's dickering hard, I had it listed at $45, she wants to offer $25, I didn't want to dicker, didn't care, really, would have let it go for free, put it back in the alley, but a small return on it's storage was nice...she'd spent that much in gas easily to come and look at it...
Funny, though, her lines, "It's in disappointing condition"...well, maybe if I was asking $200 it was, but for $45 it was in great condition, go to Ikea and see what $45 gets you..., still, her own bargaining tactics, really, I could have held out for $35, I doubt she'd have returned empty handed, I could have stood upon obtuse points of principle (many do), but now, I'm Mr. Negotiable, take it and be gone...4 days of work, 12 days of Calgary to go.
