    That is where I grew up. The best find I had in Omaha was a Coach bag with a nickle in it. Good for her I say!

    With my luck, I would have been the person there right before she bought it thinking "should I buy this chair or not......no I really don't need it".

    What a cool find for her.

    That is a cool thing but I think the ethical and Christian thing to do would be to give the money back to the person that sold the chair.

    Great deal!

    I'm just flabbergasted at the fact that she bought the chair and it sat in her garage for 2 yrs

    Since it's been in the garage for so long, I don't think I'd remember where I got it from. I say enjoy the windfall.

    I'm like you Darlene. I would give the money back if I could remember where to take it. But if you go garage saling much you'd realize quickly that you *might* not be able to remember after even a couple of weekends. Heck, I might not be able to at the end of the day if I've hit 50 or so.
