Janet has sold some of her ceramics, she is not happy.
Janet has accepted that she needs to de-clutter and has sold some of her ceramics on eBay. Initially she felt a sense of excitement when someone showed some interest in her items and was almost besides herself when she actually managed to sell something. John has been encouraging but Janet doesn’t like the fact that as fast as she has been selling her ceramics he has been replacing them with his tools. Her rapidly declining collection prompted her to try and buy some wonderful plates she had seen in an Auctioneers while she was away. Janet had to registe for a phone bid as they were not able to go to the auction, she then waited in anticipation for the auction day and dreamt about where she could display the cabinet plates she was determined to win. The Auctioneers phoned her in plenty of time, she listened in for a few minutes before her lot came up. The bidding was brisk, Janet had told John she had set herself a limit but when she had gone over this by £150.00 John threatened to unplug the phone. Janet was really disappointed when someone in the auction room increased their bid, she knew she couldn’t respond. She is determined not to get all bitter and twisted but she was really disappointed not to win the plates. Janet knows that you can never tell what will happen at auction, but one thing she is sure of, there will be other opportunities to add to her collection.
