Steal of the Year

February 19th, 2012 at 11:47 pm


Not much on the money front, everything is on auto-pilot. Tenant paid her rent. Taking care of extraneous list items as stated. Feeling somewhat better. No school tomorrow - looking forward to quiet day with hike at the Morton Arboretum and then picture appointment for older daughter at JCP.

I happened to have a bit of time to kill (15 minutes) before picking the kids up on Thursday (had no school on Friday). I stopped at our local hospital's resale store. I found this item: (it is exactly the same)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-1930-Mahogany-Bowfront-Breakfront-China-Cabinet-/360310577095?pt=Antiques_Furniture&hash=item53e42f17c7

It was marked $175. I pined away for it on Friday (in between all the running around, etc). DH is pretty amenable to a lot of things, but I did want him to take a look at it. We went on Saturday morning at around 10:20 (after a 9:00 AM basketball game). DH liked it and it was 1/2 off day. I bought it for .... drum roll ... $94.50 ($87.50 + tax). I am SO excited. We pick it up midweek.

Definitely the bargain of the year!

    I think you got an excellent deal. Smile This was a popular dining room style, so I've seen it often in antique shops and the asking price often is around $400. If you'd like to have matching or near matching pieces, keep an eye out and you'll find them.
