[...] made the rounds for a while, finding mostly things we didn’t want. I was thinking of “Got any jewelry?” guy when I saw this array of fake Chanel jewelry, artfully arrayed (for some inexplicable reason) [...]

[...] by explaining who it was. Then I thought it was the woman from the first sale last week that had tons of vintage. I didn’t find much last week, why would I care if the leftovers were all $3? Still not [...]

It all sounds very LA. I was thinking it would be for taking into lousy hotel rooms for something… (o.k. that was sort of gross)

Those black lights really ARE for cars, tricked out Japanese cars to be exact. Kids down in LA mount them under their bumpers to cast a weird glow at night. It’s all very Blade Runner, and kinda unnerving.

Hey “Gimme Dat Hand,” great story about the CD-buying jerk. I’m sure that was a very satisfying moment. Sorry I didn’t buy the hand or it would be yours!

Just the picture of that one good sale made my heart beat faster. A couple of my customers, sisters, collect hands. Their maiden name was Hand. I kinda like them myself, especially for displaying jewelry. That one on the ground was pretty cool.

Isn’t it funny how one sale can save the whole day? Isn’t it sad that it often comes down to hoping there is one sale to save the day?

Hey, that blacklite would come in handy should you stumble onto a stack of photos you’re not quite sure are really vintage.

Or a surprise rave?
