That garage sale guy who refused to sell me the lamp for 3 months
Ngl, I still think about this older dude from a moving sale in Portland last fall. He had this brass floor lamp marked at $15, but when I asked if he'd take $10, he said no and told me to come back in 3 months if I really wanted it. I laughed it off, but I actually drove by that same house every few weeks for other sales in the area, and that lamp was still sitting on his porch every single time. Finally, in December, I knocked and he just handed it to me for $8, saying, "You're the only one patient enough to earn it." Has anyone else had a seller play a weird long game like that, or was this guy just messing with me?
