My dad remembers selling Willett furniture in his mom's furniture store in the 50's and 60's, so he really loved seeing all of that 'old stuff' again! Yeah, it's tough when you have to beat out the dealers in auctions and estate sales but...I guess they just gotta do what they gotta do. The tables are all topsy-turvy when a dealer decides to hold an auction!!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089625825247072782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-90029252021934275982012-05-08T04:19:39.135-05:002012-05-08T04:19:39.135-05:00Hi maxsattic.

I certainly hope so. The dealers were taking lots of the good stuff. It's so weird to see dealers buying from dealers. My Mom "deals" in antiquey decor and she sees a lot antique mall dealers buying and selling to each other...so much so that she has been trying to cut that out of her buying routine.Mr. Modtomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804031065414619749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-78300725463481300292012-05-07T18:24:58.374-05:002012-05-07T18:24:58.374-05:00I love Alan the Auctioneer.

So Mr. Modtomic, I wonder if you would you please check out my yesterdays blog post to see if you can help me ID a dresser that I bought? Your wisdom would be much appreciated!Crystal in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023656563886635049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-16647335171939040572012-05-07T06:25:32.540-05:002012-05-07T06:25:32.540-05:00Love your blog!

That's them in the front in all of your pictures! And my Dad's white Chevy pick-up outside the gas station. So funny to see this story make its full loop! I knew they had gone before they have even told me!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089625825247072782noreply@blogger.com
