Is this something?
So we end up going down a country road to a yard sale where this Monty Hall-esque seller was more intent on getting rid of his stuff than making any money. Certain items had money squirreled away within them (paper money, not coins, he insists). If you buy those items you could end up making money on the deal.
We wanted two books and a blanket for $4 but if we bought this decorative bowl w/dipping tray for $5 (which we had no interest in), we could have the $4 worth of items for free plus whatever money was hidden in the bowl. We went for it and there was $2 hidden in the bowl. So $4 – $4 + $5 – $2 = $3 for 2 books, a blanket and this garish bowl. Is the bowl something? Should I bring it to the antique roadshow or “accidentally” forget it at someone’s house?
