So I was there Thursday when the rocks in the labyrinth were still for sale. My problem with purchasing any of that stuff is twofold. I can't id a lot of it and I have no way to cut it. I already have a real nice piece of Stone Canyon in my backyard that I can't cut. I went back Friday and bought a large piece of petrified wood and a couple of larger rocks that I thought looked nice. I probably would have got more but I asked about pricing when I got there and was told it was "as marked" It wasn't until I got to check out with no time left that I found out it was 1/2 off. I thought I had about $120 or so worth the stuff and it cost me $45

I thought I'd be able to recognize that beard from your avatar picture but didn't see anyone. I also purposely wore a "No rock is safe" shirt thinking if anyone from the board was there they'd see me  There was conflicting information on the 1/2 off rocks - around noon when it went into place the estate sale manager told me that they home owner had decided not to include rocks and wood in the half off - but an hour later when I dragged my stuff to the counter he took half off of everything including rocks without being asked. |

BTW, the flower pots weren't quite as old as I thought they were but we are still super happy with them compared to the absolute crap you see on the market at outrageous prices these days. They are signed... but I can't read it lol.   |
