-> That is a nice idea; I don't think I've ever seen a store do the "Buy

Steve had better!  They don't do it often here either, and I rarely buy 
flowers, but this time it seemed like a good idea.

-> That's the time to buy.

Today I found some stuff on the markdown racks for 75-90% off. At those 
prices even if I can't use it the local food bank can.

That sounds pretty.

A really good excuse.

Works for me.

Yep.  I just sold a bracelet on Ebay for about $100.  It was costume.  A 
nice sterling chain earlier this Fall went for $35.  The chain was worth a 
lot more retail, and was worth a good $25 just for the silver, but the 
bracelet was by a designer people really want.

Oh well.   Maybe the power should have gone out anyway?
