Echoing what Bullet said... Ami and I arrived at around ten minutes before the sale and we were really surprised to only see 1 car parked in front of Dan and Wendy's (surprised and kind of happy we didn't have to fight a huge crowd). Matt and Melody were the first ones there and a few more arrivals before noon (Brenda, Tacky Tiki and mom, Ms. Monkey and hubby) and no Bullet! Wendy makes an executive decision and opens the doors at 12:00 (maybe a couple of seconds early) and away we all go. Each of us scurry around to see everything out for sale. Piles begin to take form in the outer areas of the garage and soon more peeps begin to appear. Minutes later Bullet arrives and the sale is in full swing. The sale was set up quite well and everything was priced, making it easier to shop without wondering how much. I only heard one crashing sound of breaking glass, one casuality sacrificed during the shopping frenzy. Great selection of items across the board, vintage and contemporary and reasonably priced, not too low and not too high. Bullet cut me a good deal and I was very happy for the opportunity to be able to purchase items from such an amazing collector. Not enough thanks can be extended to Dan and Wendy. It is always great to see them and see their collection, they are great hosts. Supplies of water and treats were appreciated. Good to see some new faces and great to see the many friends we have made along the way.
Thanks again Bullet and especially Dan and Wendy! PTD |
