It is, without question, the African gentleman who stopped by to explain that God led him to my sale because he's starting a ministry and we have exactly what he needs.
I was pleased to help out, selling him a like-new 4-input amplifier with microphone and speakers for 5 dollars below the asking price -- which was already a steal!
But I was less pleased when he actually stole a pair of sunglasses.
I guess I don't really understand the term "starting a ministry".
At least there was another shopper in the garage at the time who witnessed it all and we shared a good laugh. And a good laugh is definitely worth the 25 cents the theft cost me.
But I'd kinda like my 5 dollars, please.

*gasp* NO WAY!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh I'm busting a gut here. I guess it takes ALL kinds....
The sunglasses are to better shade his shifty eyes next time.
hahahha!!! i am so glad the amp went to someone truly worthy...wait...he stole sunglasses??
actually, to be honest, that kind of makes him a little more worthy of that amp. at least he'll look super stylish whilst imploring his congregation to remember the commandment, "thou shalt not steal".
I can't imagine what he'd get away with if his shifty eyes were concealed . . . if your pastor wears sunglasses to preach, be very suspicious.
And I have children who use words like "whilst?" My child-rearing ain't been in vain for nothin'! The rewards of motherhood are vast.
