We bought a large stained glass/leadlight shade for $30, made of good (and expensive) glass. We paid and ran before the poor stall holder realised he could have had at least $100 or even $150 on the price tag.

A while back I bought an antique map etched onto a very large framed piece of copper, for an anniversary present for hubby. $10, but I gave the stall holder $15 because I doubt very much that he knew what it was worth. Copper theft is rife around here. The copper alone would have been a windfall for him if he had taken it to the scrap yard.

Lovely map. Two circles of eastern & western hemispheres of the earth. Wind-blowing cherubs & frolicking whales etc.

You can guarantee we won't be selling it for scrap.
