My mom, Dwight, the girls and I went to an Auction in Ness City. we had a blast! I had never been and it was stressful! We just laughed and laughed about trying to buy stuff and figure out how much it was going for....
Anyway - towards the end - they were trying to sell furniture...a lot of people had left and so no one was bidding anything. This couch came up for sale and no one wanted it. I had mentioned to my mom that it was a neat couch earlier but, I had gone to pay for something and we didn't hear what was going on with the furniture. Turns out - the couch sold for $1. Yes - $1.00. 100 pennies, 4 quarters, 10 dimes....really? My mom asked the guy if he was really wanting that couch and he said - no - but, he knew they needed to get it out of there. My mom asked if he would take $10 for it - he said, "no". But, he would take $1.00. So - this beautiful couch is now ours. It really is amazing...the pictures don't do it justice. I can imagine that this was sitting in a formal living room somewhere barely used. It still has all the plastic wrapping in the cushions and they are stiff as if never used. It is a soft velour fabric and I LOVE IT!!!! You are all invited to come and sit on our new couch and visit......
