Yeah, you know one of the most valuable tools I've found is having my BlackBerry in hand, so that anytime I see something that looks interesting, I can look it up online, and know if its a good idea or not. This one just took a little longer, because I didn't know it was called a firkin sewing basket. I had go through a couple of pages looking for the search terms bucket sewing basket before I found a few of these.
Having the ol' BlackBerry on hand has saved me from making a couple of bad purchases and knowing when I was getting a bargain. You can always ask a seller to hold something for a minute while you "run to the ATM to get cash", when in reality, you're googling like mad just around the corner!!
In this case I told her I'd like to come see it, but quickly realized it wasn't of interest and politely let her know I'd decided against it.
