If I were going to this, I'd hold out a while for the bargains.

what's weird about this?

assholes, the lot of you.

The difference between a garage sale ad an estate sale is that the garage sale stuff is junk the owner wants to jettison. The estate sale the stuff that they wanted to keep. When I buy stuff form antique shops I try to imagine the story behind the item, wonder what it woud say.

To be able to hear the story from the owner would be a gift in itself.

BurnShrike: China cabinets and furnishings, glass and pottery, paper goods and jewelry, books and postcards, old toys and even baby items are among the offerings.

How about a piano? I'm looking for something to store the framed remains of my family on.

Now you've done it. This thread is going to be pulled too.

How grand.

BurnShrike: lohphat:

Nah, I doubt it. I think the last one was pulled because Mr Babyquarium was issuing threats and the rest of us were piling on to gang rape him.

That was the most fun I've had on Fark in a long time, but I still plan on using the babyquarium jokes rolling.

There's dog piling and then there's demanding to be gang raped. He was almost offering free loob.

I prefer the term fetalquarium.

Good for her. My Great Grandmother was also an antique dealer. She left no will. It was a major nest of nastiness.

I suppose by "strange", you mean, "happens nearly every week in most cities"? Here in Shreveport, LA there's a company that does nothing but living estate sales for people about to go to nursing homes or similar places.

Hey, does anyone know what happened to that thread the other day? Someone submitted a headline which referenced the dead baby on the piano and when I went to click on it (in my RSS feeds) the entire thread had been deleted. I've been on Fark for 6 years and I have never seen that happen. I wonder if the dead baby Farker threatened to sue if they didn't take the thread down.

Fark rarely "disappears" a thread but as said above, it got out of hand. It was like a pack of hyenas jumping on a wounded zebra shouting "come see how tasty I am" and then threatening the hyenas for tooth marks.

Mr. Fetalquarium is the ultimate troll.

You might even call him the Quinn-tessential troll.

I wish I could go.


When I first moved to the south, I answered an ad for a piece of artwork for sale that I could actually afford. Turns out the seller had a huge mansion full of fantastically lovely things. She basically told me she had two loser sons, one in jail and one on drugs. She was dying and wanted her stuff sold before she died so she could make sure as much of it as possible went to people that would love it instead of a pawn shop. I bought not only the piece I came for (a very large signed and numbered Maxfield Parrish print) but several very old books, a mirror, some pewter beer mugs and pieces of glassware that she virtually gave to me. I wish I'd had a lot more money.

Hoarder!

It's his own damn fault for even posting that. It was bad here but just imagine had he posted it on 4chan or Something Awful. I don't blame the mods/admins for pulling it though because of the massive shiat it starts.

You lucky lucky thing you. Congrats; do you still have it?

I do. It is "Daybreak" - about 24" x 36". When I moved, it rode in the car with me. If my house was on fire, it would be out the door with me and my dogs.
