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)
