2 weeks ago, I was in an antique mall and spotted a bar cart. I quickly made my way over to it and checked out its price tag. It read $19! I couldn't believe it. I stood there and looked it over. I knew that even though it wasn't exactly what I wanted, it was a steal, and I could always resell it to make a profit. But somehow, I talked myself out of the purchase.
This past weekend, I spotted the exact same cart on the One Kings Lane Design-Blogger Tag Sale, and then I suddenly regretted my decision to leave it behind. The cart sold for $599 and retails for $900.
When I saw it with this price tag, I immediately picked up the phone and called to see if the identical cart that I found was still for sale. Of course, it sold the day before. I keep reminding myself that the wheels looked cheap, and it didn't look at all as spectacular in person as this listing makes it seem. Ugghhh! It hurts.

That is the absolute worst! I try to not let that happen to me but then that classifies me as a spendaholic. You can't win 'em all!

errr, the worst. Its ok though you will find some other great finds! Hubby and I are planning a trip to cola to stop at some antique spots along the way, and end with the flea market.
I soooo hate it when that happens! I've gone back for things twice in the last two weeks and they've been gone! I need to start trusting my instincts :-).
Such a bummer when you find something you love and then its gone! Thanks for stopping by today! :)
Oh that is the WORST! I'm so sorry! I know I paid way more than $19 for my new bar cart...I guess it's all about how much worth you see in it!
