My mother was the queen of yard sales. She got some of the greatest stuff & taught us all the tricks, including bargaining. One time my younger brother, who was about 13 at the time, found a great 8-track player & asked the guy who owned it how much he wanted for it. The guy didn’t want to take advantage of “the kid” so he said that it didn’t work; he wanted to sell it to someone who could fix it. My brother said, “I can.” The guy didn’t believe him and scoffed, “If you can fix it, it’s yours…free!” Less than 1/2-hour later my brother came home with a lovely working 8-track player!
