I stopped at an estate sale once and they had a Nikon 14mm 2.8. I knew it was going to be there, but not the price. I was one of the first in line and the first one to the table with it. Saw the $100 price tag and about shit myself. My gut feeling was to rush it to the checkout, pay and bolt out of there. But noooooooooooo I had to check out the rest of the house. Then I go to the checkout and one of the workers comes rushing over saying the price might be wrong. Now they want $800 for it. I suspect a jealous asshole in line somewhere behind me tipped them off. I actually ended up getting it for $300 that day after negotiation. Typically sold on eBay for $500+ at the time. I just wish I had left when I had the chance.
(I have tons of estate sale and garage sale stories like this... most with happier endings... for me! lol)
