Noticed this outside AA Furniture & Appliances on Monday. An old school electric heater, the kind whose coils are exposed and glow orange. The tag says "WORKING -- $30" and there's no reason to think otherwise.
Ly saw me looking and came outside. "You buy, is working."
"Like the tag says."
"Never mind what tag says -- is working."
An antique fake fireplace, from a time (1930s?) when things weren't fake. It works, yes, but can I trust it to not create a hazard? Do I even have room for it?
My favourite part is the painted insert, the illusion of live coals. If it's still out front today, I'll put an offer on it.
