Let them eat cake

There was a large "social distancing" yard sale last weekend on Main Street. My sister sent me the notice about it that she saw online. It was the house next to the Cove Deli. It was pretty populated with people for being run in the middle of a pandemic. At least everyone was wearing masks! I spotted a nice big white cake plate in the garage out back. I liked it, you can never have enough cake plates. There was no price. I asked one of the guys running the event what the price was. He said "Ten dollars? Five dollars?" I said, "All I've got in my wallet is three dollars". He said fine and it was mine. The lesson? Never settle for the first price no matter what they say!
