I put my antique butter churn on Marketplace

And I did get one nibble. Of course, he wanted it for half the price posted. I replied that I'd accept an amount halfway between. He responded, "That wasn't what I offered." I was willing to negotiate, but apparently he's not.

He wouldn't have bought it anyway.

Reminds me of the farmer who decided to sell 10 acres of his land. He considered all the area for prices and finally settled in an amount.

The day after listing it, he got a call.

"I'm interested" the caller said. "Are you flexible with the price?"

The farmer replied "Ayup, I can go higher"

Good for you Deb!

It looks in very good condition.

Did it sell to someone locally?

Didn't you have some crocks in one of your yard sales?
I was planning on getting some we have out.
Clean them up & take to corner store where you can set up your display of items.

After husband read they guidelines & price charged for using their space.
Said forget it.

Shucks,, had thought to put my antique sette & rocker down there.

Nice! I might have bought it from you... not that I need it or have anywhere to put it. But, hey I don't have one!

@debodun @Sunny HOME MADE BUTTER !!!!!!!! . Many, many moons ago…..every once in a while I would make some…..yummy.
Till…..the crock cracked, and never could find another one.

It would cost a bundle to ship. It weighed about 20 pounds.

Guess I'll have to do what I always do - go to the store.

According to his FB profile - semi locally. He lives about 40 miles away but said he had a "job" near me today and could stop by when he was done to get it.
