Mrs. Hillman: This is cute and only 50 cents! Irving: You're selling one just like that at OUR yard sale for $2.00, mom! Mrs. Hillman: Her prices are much better! I should get it! Irving: You already own one! Mrs. Hillman: It's 50 cents! Irving: You're selling one because you don't need one! Mrs. Hillman: If I sell mine for $2.00 and buy hers for 50 cents, I'll be up $1.50 and will have a nice, new lamp to unload!! Irving: What?? How did you come up with that?? Mrs. Hillman: Years of yard sale practice. You have to know how to search for the good logic!

She’s your mother, Irving! If you don’t know your mom’s “logic” at this point, you’ll never get it. Truthfully though, that made no sense! Now she has to get rid of 2 lamps! And there’s a reason why 2 people are trying to get rid of this lamp at a deep discount so good luck with that. And the lady at this yard sale is thinking, “There’s a sucker born every minute!”
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Wednesday! Have a great day, all!

I have a lovely, stained glass hanging swag lamp I want to sell. It’s opaque white glass, with pink flowers and light green leaves on the scalloped bottom edge. It’s Tiffany styled, and worth every penny I paid for it. A true work of glass pieces and soldering. It hung over my pastel plaid couch for 20 years. I need to get out of my 90’s décor : )

Wholesale becomes retail in the telling of the reselling.

That deserves a huge [EYE-ROLL] Not even going to try to follow that logic – although I will admit I have met people in my lifetime that thought that way. Did not understand it then either.
Have a beautiful day today.

hendelca pretty much summed it up above, except … WHAT logic?? Ha.
HI, MOM. Hello, Clan.
