I have lived every collectors dream in the last week. I went to do some bushogging for some folks the next county over.

Since they lived out of state, they hadn't had time to really check all the older building on the property since it was bought as is. I offered 300 and they TOOK IT. Apparently they had no idea of its worth. Did I take advantage of them, or just hit the mother load? Never pass up an old barn I guess?!?!?!? I am going back next weekend to look through a couple of other sheds just in case!
