What Were They Thinking Wednesday: Broken

Hello, My Friends!~~

Welcome to the third installment of "What Were They Thinking Wednesday", a weekly (hopefully!) post on the Dime Store Chic blog. WWTTW highlights an item at a thrift store, flea market, estate sale, and antique mall that I think is over priced. I am out "in the field" every week hunting down treasures but sometimes the prices I find just leave me scratching my head. You may feel the same or not. You decide!

This week is a piece that is all bright, shiny and broken! It even has a note taped to it declaring that very thruth...

The sign says "spout doesn't work". OK, well, isn't the point of a coffee urn to have the spout/spigot thingy working? This piece is silverplate, pretty but still the essential part is broken. I don't know if repairs could easily and cheapy be made, but a broken piece none-the-less. How much is this thrift store asking for big, shiny, and broken?

$95.00. There you go. What were they thinking? That's what I asked. Perhaps you are asking the same thing too.~~~Cheers!~~Beth
