"This is a treasure trove!"

A blink she squints "Not seeing it" She admits

"Look at these tools!"

"Mmmph" A tilt of her head "Sounds like just a triip to Lowes to me"

Sally Mae suggests "Well, if we go ahead with the sale, you get all this too and maybe Thistle can make some use of it"

"just a trip to Lowe's?!?!"

Gwen realizes a mistake has been made on her part "uhhm"

"You have hear a generation workshop of heirloom tools! You think those cankles make anythin' like this in the past quarter-century with planned obsolescence?"

"That was rhetorical, cuz they AIN'T."

"They make disposable drek so you crank the tiniest bit of torque and boom, eggshells."

"Okay okay... uhm would you like to have some of this taken to Silverwolf?"

"We can sort through it?"

"Sure sure... My focus on the pups but if we buy the house yes... and you've got a point about built to last" She adds "Sorry I didn't see that at first." A look to Sally Mae "Now, about the price. "

Sally Mae smiles "You mean for this classic house complete with a 'treasure trove' ?"

Gwen mmmphs "A trove in the hands of rare and gifted folks like Thistle, yes. Others, might as well be written in ancient sumarian. Not everyne has her gifts. So let's not raise the price because of the 'trove'"

Citrine bells a scolding at poor Sally Mae.

"Feh. Like the boulder says - most schmucks don't know what to do with this. Clearly, somebody is offloading Granny's house, and wants minimal fuss. We're saving them a clean out company."

"HUGE bargain!"

Sally Mae looks at Citrine "Sorry, Sparkly, but I owe it to folks to do a good job" then to the Silverwolfers "If simplicity is what they crave, than we'll keep it simple. $775, 000 sounds like a nice round easy number for a house in this area. One that has fantastic rooms to pick from, vintage touches, and then those little gems such as the surplus here"

Thistle's eyes bug out a bit.

"We.... have a cash buyer." She looks at Gwen to confirm.

"We...we do" Gwen swalllows. She's never been trusted with this much money in her life

"So... in terms of closing costs and... stuff?"

"You drive a hard bargain, and you've a point about paying all up front. For that, and for expendiencey, I think I can talk them down to $770,000. You save 5000 dollars, AND both sides get to hold their heads high. "

"Uhm.. how much time do I have?" Gwen asks

"Well, that depends on how quickly the folks scheduled later this after noon like it I suppose" Sally Mae shrugs

"Flint, y'gonna call the boss?"

"You know what, Rainbow.. thanks I think I should" She goes to call

in fact, she puts it on speaker

Seeing if she gets the Baron or Baroness first

Aiden, in fact, is waiting for the call!

And she rings them up
