Don't usually snap pictures as I find insulators at flea markets. Had a good reason to do so yesterday at the Stormville NY flea market. There was a new collector from the Cape Cod area that was set up as a vendor selling other stuff. When I first went by his table he only had one common out but said he had a couple more he'd put out when he found them. And of course being a curious hunter I had to return to see if he dug them out. In the mean time I found this purple WGMCo another vendors was selling for $90 according to the sticker price. Just happened that I knew this vendor who sets up at another weekly flea market I attend throughout the season. I put the super near mint pretty insulator down and went on my way only to return and make what I though was a reasonable offer. More then likely if I hadn't purchased this insulator and showed it to the other vendor I would have never known that he was actually a beginner collector. Instead I would have walked away frustrated not finding any insulators yet again at Stormville. To me meeting and talking to that new collector made the visit an extra special one and one I will long remember!! |
