Well, approximately a month ago, I was browsing one of the larger antique malls in my area and there was a lady who was tending her rented space with her husband. I thought, out of curiosity, I would ask if she had any shaving items. She said, yes, but not at this store.

I told her I was looking for straight razors but they had to be free of rust. She gave me the address of the store and her number.

The past weekend, I was on my way to visit my brother and remembered the store. I made a slight detour and quickly went through the small mall.
I immediately saw a number of razors but they would require work and were over priced. Then, in the last 2 spaces, I found these and a full vintage bottle of Shulton Old Spice that interested me. I asked the person tending the store, if she could tell me anything about the person renting the space. After a brief description, I knew it must be the same woman. I pulled the number out and phoned her. She answered and said yes those were her items and thank you for remembering her. I asked if she was firm on the prices or if she would negotiate on the three items. She asked what I was thinking. I shot her a price and she thought for a moment and said that if I paid cash, she would meet my prices.

She asked if I would be looking for any more and if she could give me a call if she found other items. I said certainly and was glad we made a connection.

Now, that's also some very clever networking my friend. Well done
