What an awesome bargain! I can't imagine why the seller let it all go for just $50.00.

I had responded to an ad for 2 carboys… I offered 20$ and that was the best offer. When I showed up to pick it up the seller turned out to be a really sweet old lady whose husband had passed away a few years ago and now she is trying to empty her home of 50 years of stuff. She was totally overwhelmed by the massive work room where her husband had kept his tools, projects, wine making stuff, etc. So after taking the carboys I spent an hour or so helping her drag some of the real junk out to her curb. Behind the junk we found the balance of his wine making stuff! She insisted I take it all for free, but I managed to force an extra $30 into her hands.
A bitter sweet story. I'm glad you were able to bring some comfort to the lady and help her in a practical way by moving some of the junk to the curb. I think both of you were blessed by the "transaction".
At the beginning of reading this post, I felt like you should be put in jail. After your last post, I take it all back!
What a nice thing to do.. Her husbands stuff did not go to waste, and she can relive some old homemade wine memories.
Good on you ou8amaus!
