Day 1160 It’s yours mate

14th October 2020

Some guy offered us more than we wanted for our latest dresser.

After languishing in the ether for a few days, suddenly there was a flurry of interest. Kelli, as always has strict rules when it comes to multiple offers. Often after the initial contact it fizzles out, and we then wait for the next. Kelli is good at being subtle and keeps connected right up to the point when the persons wants or doesn’t want it. The key is to keep the door open to everyone, letting them know where they are in the queue. However with this late entry, and the higher offer it put the cat among the pigeons. But this morning she let others know there was an alternative offer waiting. This will result in the person in line making there decision to buy or pass. In this situation they passed leaving it open for the higher offer which was snapped up and paid for.

We were busy on a number of small jobs. I was sanding and staining a blanket box top whilst Kelli was painting the drawerless dresser piece that I had been working on fo almost a year, soon it will be finished, I hope, any longer and the wood will rot and it will fall apart.
