Garage Sale Mystery

GOOD MORNING, BEAUTIFUL.

GOOD MORNING.

SO, WHEN'S YOUR FIRST?

8:00 A.M.

EARLY BIRDS WILL BE HOVERING OUTSIDE ALREADY.

AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT THAT CRAZY.

I ASKED HANNAH TO GO WITH ME,

BUT SHE WANTED TO SLEEP IN.

I DON'T BLAME HER.

YOU THINK SHE'S OKAY?

SHE'LL COME AROUND.

IF THEY'RE GOING TO BREAK UP,

BETTER NOW THAN LATER.

YEAH, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.

WOW, ANOTHER BURGLARY.

WHERE?

GLENWOOD, SAME AS THE OTHER ONE.

HMM. REALLY?

I WAS THERE FOR A GARAGE SALE LAST WEEKEND.

SURPRISING. NICE PLACE.

WELL, I'M GLAD ALL OUR MONEY IS IN OUR HOUSE.

OOH, LOOK AT THAT FACE.

OOH!

NO JUNK!

LOVE YOU!

WE HAVE ENOUGH...

HI, THIS IS DANIELLE.

I'M PROBABLY HOME, I'M JUST AVOIDING SOMEONE.

LEAVE ME A MESSAGE.

IF I DON'T CALL YOU BACK, IT'S YOU.

GET YOUR BUTT UP, PARTNER!

00, AND I'M ABOUT TO DO SOME DAMAGE.

EXPECT TREASURE.

THAT'S VERY PRETTY.

KINDA. SEEMS A LITTLE OLD FASHIONED.

IT WAS MY GRANDMOTHER'S FAVORITE.

IT'S AN ENGLISH DESIGN.

I'LL GIVE YOU $75.

125, AND I'LL THROWN IN THE CHAIR.

EXCUSE ME,

THIS IS A LOVELY SALE YOU'RE HAVING.

I HAVE A FRIEND

THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THE ROYAL ALBERT.

HOW MUCH FOR ALL OF IT?

I MIGHT BE INTERESTED.

YOU DID THIS LAST WEEK.

I JUST MADE AN OFFER.

AND I MIGHT MAKE A BETTER ONE.

ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE. HOW MUCH FOR ALL OF IT?

I'LL GIVE YOU $150, CASH.

GARAGE SALES ARE ALWAYS CASH.

$200.

DON'T YOU USUALLY BUY FURNITURE?

YEAH, BUT IF YOU'VE GOT A DINING ROOM TABLE,

YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE CHINA TO PUT ON IT.

I WILL GIVE YOU $250 FOR ALL OF IT.

COUNTER?

THANK YOU.

I THOUGHT I'D GET 200, TOPS.

OH, WELL, THEN, I GUESS WE BOTH DID ALL RIGHT.

IT WAS A WIN-WIN.

YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A SET I WAS GOING TO KEEP,

BUT SINCE YOU BOUGHT ALL OF THIS, AND WERE SO NICE...

WHAT IS IT?

MATCHING TEAPOT WITH SERVICE.

MAY I SEE IT?

IT'S INSIDE.

KATE!

OH, HEY! EXCUSE ME.

I THOUGHT THIS ADDRESS WAS FAMILIAR!

OH, I SHOULD HAVE CALLED YOU.

YOU COULD HAVE HELPED ME PRICE ALL THIS STUFF.

WHY ARE YOU HAVING A GARAGE SALE?

FOR FUN. AND I WANT TO REDECORATE.

OH...

HI, JEN.

HEY, BEN!

NEW RULE.

KATE CAN'T BUY ANY NEW STUFF

TILL SHE GETS RID OF THE OLD STUFF.

I SEE SHE'S GOT YOU WORKING.

OH, YOU KNOW ME, ALWAYS WORKING.

OH, THIS IS NICE.

OH. RE-PRO.

AH, I LIVE FOR THE DAY

WHEN I FIND A REAL TIFFANY AT A GARAGE SALE.

OH, I'LL BET. COME INSIDE.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.

OH, GREAT.

I'VE GOT A FEW PIECES

THAT MIGHT BE REALLY GOOD FOR YOUR SHOP.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT SUCH A GOOD IDEA

TO HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR HOUSE

AT A GARAGE SALE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO CARRY THIS OUT ONTO THE DRIVEWAY--

OH, WAIT A MINUTE.

HOLD IT, YOU DON'T WANT TO SELL THIS.

I DO. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHERE WE GOT IT.

I'LL CONSIGN IT AT THE SHOP IF YOU WANT,

AND I'LL GIVE YOU A FAIR PRICE.

THIS IS REALLY OLD JADE.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

IF I DIDN'T HAVE A CONSCIENCE, I WOULD BUY IT.

YOU HAVE IT MARKED FOR $40.

TOO LOW?

ADD ANOTHER ZERO.

OOH.

HERE, YOU KEEP THIS.

BUDDHA WILL BRING YOU GOOD LUCK AND LONG LIFE.

FINE, I'LL PUT IT WITH THE "NOT FOR SALE" ITEMS.

OH, I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE DINING ROOM.

OH, GREAT.

SO, THIS WHOLE SET IS GOING TO GO

BECAUSE I FOUND A DUNCAN PHYFE DOUBLE PEDESTAL

WITH LYRE-BACK CHAIRS.

OH, MY, WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT?

OVER IN DAVIS. IT'S ON HOLD.

EXCUSE ME,

I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THIS COFFEE TABLE.

OH, SURE. SURE. SEE YOU OUTSIDE.

OKAY, GREAT.

WELL, THEY WERE SEEING EACH OTHER FOR TWO YEARS,

SO SHE'S TAKING IT PRETTY HARD.

AW... WELL, HANNAH WILL BE FINE.

I MEAN, IT JUST TAKES TIME, RIGHT?

AND WHO DIDN'T HAVE A COLLEGE BREAK-UP?

HEY, UH, CAN WE HAVE LUNCH?

SOON?

SURE. HOW'S TUESDAY?

UH... THAT'S GREAT, YEAH.

MONDAY I'M HAVING A MASSAGE, A FACIAL,

GETTING MY NAILS DONE,

AND BEN'LL BE OUT OF TOWN ON A CONFERENCE,

SO, YEAH, BY TUESDAY,

I'LL BE ALL RELAXED AND READY FOR A LONG LUNCH.

ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH. YEAH, OF COURSE.

YOU'RE SURE?

WE'LL TALK...

IT'LL BE GREAT TO CATCH UP.

IT'S BEEN SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO.

I'LL SEE YOU TUESDAY.

OKAY.

EXCUSE ME,

DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE OF THESE?

I THINK SO.

DOWN IN THE BASEMENT.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF MYSTERY BOXES.

IF YOU WANT TO DRAG 'EM UP,

THEY'RE YOURS.

ANY IDEA WHAT'S INSIDE?

MAYBE SOME MORE TRACK.

SOME OTHER JUNK.

20 BUCKS, YOU CAN HAVE THE LOT.

DEAL.

OH, I HATE BASEMENTS.

BINGO.

HEY!

HEY, DANIELLE.

I THOUGHT WE MADE A RULE YEARS AGO, NO MYSTERY BOXES.

AND I HAVE A RULE "NO BASEMENTS," BUT I WENT.

SUCH A MARTYR.

AT THE FIRST SALE, SOME CHINA.

DOULTON?

ROYAL ALBERT.

NICE!

IT GETS BETTER.

SHE LET ME INSIDE TO SEE ONE MORE ITEM,

IT COST A HUNDRED BUCKS...

A HUNDRED BUCKS?

MM-HM, TEAPOT...

AND SERVICE.

NICE!

WELL...

YOU DESERVE A GREEN DRINK FOR THAT.

-WHAT? -UH-HUH.

-OH, NO. -UH-HUH.

NO, NO,NO.

YEAH, KALE, APPLE, SPINACH, CARROT, BEET, AND GINGER--

[STAMMERING IN PROTEST]

ORGANIC.

I WAS THINKING MORE LIKE A COFFEE.

MOCHA JAVA WOULD BE NICE--

DRINK IT. IT'S LIVE FOOD.

I GUARANTEE IT'S BETTER THAN MY DATE LAST NIGHT.

MMM...

IT TASTES LIKE I'M DRINKING A LAWN.

A BITTER LAWN.

IT'S SO GOOD FOR YOU.

OH, THERE'S NO WAY

YOUR DATE COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE THAN THIS.

OH, REALLY?

HE SELLS CANINE HEALTH CARE PRODUCTS.

WHAT?

UH-HUH, TOOTH WHITENERS FOR DOGS.

I WANTED TO TELL HIM HE COULD USE A FEW HIMSELF.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN A... "RUFF" NIGHT.

THAT WAS FUNNY.

IT WAS VERY FUNNY!
