#BrosLoveBinglesToo

I am only posting this video in response to a post on FB that stated I was “going ballistic” and that I “cursed out” this lady. I would call this a disagreement and not an argument as she kept insisting it was as neither one of us used a foul word. If for any moment my voice was raised at the beginning of the video is because I was standing on the sidewalk while she was sitting directly in front of the door blocking it.

My milk crate that I was sitting on and laundry sack that I used to put items in was at the top of the driveway next to the walkway while the walkway from the sidewalk to the door was clear so that I was not blocking entry to anyone who was coming to open the door to start the sale. There was a white plastic lawn chair sitting up against the garage that I did pull away as sitting on the milk crate was hurting my back so I sat in the chair and put my feet on the milk crate. I went to my vehicle at around 2:30 as I arrived at midnight and it was very hot. Once my car cooled down I turned it off to save gas and dozed off with the radio on and the windows up. I do not know the exact time I woke up. But I did start it up to make sure the battery wasn’t dead. Once I did so I stepped out to smoke a cigarette and I noticed a lady sitting in the chair that I had pulled away with her back directly against the door blocking entry. We spoke and I explained how I arrived at midnight and I was sitting in that chair with my feet on top of my milk crate. (I did say the chair was mine in the video and that is false. The chair was sitting up against the garage at the top of the driveway where my milk crate and laundry sack were.) She insisted that she was first in line as she was sitting in line while I was sleeping. I’ve been to many Estate Sales and never have I heard of someone losing there spot in line after setting up a chair or something to sit on and returning back to their vehicle. At the end of the day, after acknowledging that I was there before her, her claim for being first was that when she got in line I was in my car sleeping. The person who showed up for third place in line explained to her that people set up something to sit on and return to their cars all the time and that there was no reason to have to sit in your seat for 6 hours as nobody would take your spot. Estate Sale Etiquette 101. I only started recording this video to protect myself as I overheard her on the phone telling someone some guy was screaming at her which I never did once in this over 40 mins of footage.

When the man running the sale showed up, she acknowledged to him that we had a problem and how I was in the car sleeping when she arrived and sat in front of the door. The man replied to her and told her she was first without even giving me the respect of turning around and looking at me to ask my side of the story. I was disrespected and it made me sad. I still went into the sale and even though I was second in line now I did make it to the bingle wreath first and attempted to remove it from the wall when one of the attendants working the sale took it from me and said it belonged to the lady as she was here first. There was plenty more stuff that I was interested in but at that point the only way I could protest this injustice was with my money. I left empty handed.

On my way out I spoke with the man running the sale whom I thought was Richard and his real name I do know now but will not disclose and explained to him how I called and asked about a presale of this item as it was the only item I was coming for and didn’t want any confrontation. He said the only way to be fair was to be first in line. I advised him how I arrived at midnight and dozed off in my car between 3 and 4 with my spot in line reserved by my milk crate. To which his response was “Well you still have to be the first one to the item”. When I told him how I was first to the item but his worker stopped me from taking it off the wall and took it and said it was for the lady…….he had no comment.

I normally wouldn’t post anything like this but I don’t stand up for myself when someone says I was disrespectful, that would be would be disrespectful to the people that raised me.

Again I am only posting this video in self defense and I wish nobody any harm or ill intent.

This video was recorded at a public sale where there is no expectation of privacy and for said reason I do not need anyone’s consent to record.
