Here's are two nice stories from Barbara in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Her tape 
measure is going in the mail!

I purchased a set of old German China Canisters at a rummage sale.  I was 
headed home from going to sales not finding much when I came upon a rummage 
sale selling a set of canisters. They were so beautiful.  They are white with 
cobalt and golf trim.  I had always wanted some but they were way out of the 
price range I could afford.  I asked how much they were.  I almost fainted when 
the lady said 5 dollars.  She carefully packed them up for me and home I went.  
I had a big smile on my face.

When I got home I realized that I forgot to pay the lady.  I use a scooter so 
because it was low on battery power.  I sent my neighbor back with the money.  
She asked the lady with the sale if I had paid her.  She did not remember and 
would not take the money.  I still have the set and they are one of my favorite 
things I have found over the years.

I love going to garage sales. I was at one once where they were selling a 
wicker Baby Buggy.  It was in very nice condition but did not have a price.  I 
asked the girl selling at the sale how much it was.  She called someone to ask 
the price.  She told me 150 so I gave her one dollar and 50 cents and off I 
went dragging it home me driving my scooter.  Later on as I was thinking about 
it I bet that they meant $150.00.  I still have it.  I could not remember which 
house.  I did feel kind of bad. It is in a very nice condition and I love it.
