Mom Discovers Hole Inside Old Bag And Puts Hand In
Something Hidden
She raised the bag and flipped it over to see inside, but something heavy had moved. She felt around inside the bag and started to compress the lining until she discovered the offender.
She examined each box, thinking, “How peculiar.”
Her fingertips stumbled across the hole in the lining of the bag. As her palm closed around the enigmatic rectangular item, she understood precisely what it was and that it wasn’t supposed to be there. She reached inside.
Loved A Good Bargain
Sarah Thomas was always on the lookout for a good bargain. If she saw a charity or thrift store she just couldn’t help taking a look inside. She’d investigate old shelves with antiques hoping for a big score.
The reason why Sarah Thomas was so keen on rifling through dusty stores was because she was always looking for treasure that she could sell for a profit. She thought that she had become a pro, but she was about to be shown the truth.
A Passion
The popularity of her Facebook business page, Sarah’s Southern Oregon 2nd Hand Deals, led to the beginning of a regular flow of side money. She put forth a lot of effort, making multiple weekly trips to the neighborhood Goodwill stores in search of that unique item.
On good days, she could buy luxury clothing, shoes, and purses for just a few dollars. However, some days weren’t that simple.
Something Special
The worst that could happen during Sarah’s hunts was her finding out later that the goods she had bought for a would-be-bargain was actually damaged or worth far less than she thought.
But sometimes there would be a hidden gem that Sarah saw could be worth way more than it looked. Like a designer diaper bag that only cost three dollars. That’s when she just couldn’t resist.
A Designer Bag
The diaper bag was old as well as having a fancy label. Even better, it appeared to be virtually brand new, which was truly a treasure. Sarah was aware that this diaper bag had a suggested retail price of about $200… Wow, what a deal!
She didn’t hesitate for a second, she grabbed it and purchased it. But she didn’t realize anything odd about it until she had already gotten home with her new acquisition.
