So this is my first week and I've made my first sale! This clown's head has been in my family for over 50 years. It's from the Eaton's Santa Clause Parade and a friend of my mom's bought it for her when my mom was in her 20's. Can you believe that I used to have this in my bedroom as a child!I had a great experience with this sale making me realize that it might be the stories told to me from the buyers that will be the best part of this game. The buyer had been in the Santa Clause Parade with his friend for about 20 years. In June, the friend will be turning 50. The buyer purchased the clown's head as a gift for his friend and is really excited about giving it to him.
So I met the buyer on a busy corner in downtown Toronto. He pulled up in his black Porsche. I told him that I would be easy to spot as I'd be the one holding the clown's head and he told me that he would only buy it from me if I stood on the corner wearing it! So I did. He said I was a good sport. What he didn't know was that 5 floors up a group of my work colleagues were squished up against 2 windows looking down at the transaction as it happened. I really wanted to turn around and wave at them but I didn't want to scare off the buyer!
Needless to say...a great transaction today! The clown's head went to a great home!
