I would hate that guy and I don’t really buy book much. Does he sit and use a scanner too?
That would really, really bug me.

Re Picker Lady: I went to a charity book sale recently where they repeatedly told everyone that, anything that we put aside into piles we would have to buy at least 75% of. This comment directed at all, was actually directed at one guy who turns up with 2 helpers and shovels books into “his” pile to be sorted later (he does this every year at the same sale). Of course the next week, different sale, and he and his minions are back to their usual evil tricks…..

I see your point and I honestly can’t stant this woman, but you can’t be at every single sale at once, so I just let most of it.

Picker Lady – If you see something in her pile that you really like, you should grab it when her back is turned, pay for it and take off. I know this violates yard sale unwritten rules, but so does starting early and grabbing everything that you think you might want so that no one else can get it. Wonder how much she eventually leaves behind that someone else might have bought if it wasn’t already in “her pile”. Might teach her a lesson about being so greedy and starting early.
