    I had no money with me and offered a check for the amount. I had to keep a straight face. The hones were label side down in the box so I didln't know for sure. I did have a good guess! They happy and I happy!

    Since it looked to be unused, it did take me a few minutes to decide.................

    Ok I have to ask. Is this normal there? We only have garage sales around here on Saturdays.
