She absolutely did not see this coming
Karen was going through a financially difficult time and was forced to sell all sorts of things. She decided to get rid of her baby’s crib, too. The money she made from it brought her a little closer to resolution. Three days later, however, the buyer of the crib discovered something that would change everything….
Making ends meet
Karen was struggling financially. A tick bite had caused her to contract Lyme disease, which prevented her from working. As soon as her ex-boyfriend found out she was pregnant, he had left her. She lived alone with her infant daughter and was just barely able to keep her head above water. She decided to sell as many things as she could online so she could make ends meet better.
A strange message
Karen no longer used her baby’s crib very often, so that too was sold. It hit her hard, because she had inherited it from her family, and it had been like that in the family for generations. She got 200 euros for it. The buyer was overjoyed with the purchase, which reassured her. Until, a few days later, she suddenly received a strange message from that woman….
Special bed
The buyer of the crib was also a single mother herself and was about to have another child. Financially, she was not in very good shape, but she just had to buy Karen’s crib. “A special girl deserves a special crib,” she told Karen. Karen completely agreed, so the crib was sold. Karen was completely reassured and therefore did not see the woman’s message coming at all.
Fear of trouble
The message came as Karen was combing her little daughter’s hair. She asked her daughter to sit somewhere else for a moment and read the message. For a moment she thought something had gone wrong with the purchase of the crib, but nothing could be further from the truth. The buyer had contacted her for an entirely different reason.
Old and unique
The buyer of the crib had sent Karin a message where she said she would like to paint the crib in a different color. She had already sanded off the old paint and came across something special. There was a signature engraved on the wood. The buyer had posted a picture of the crib on an antique forum and received many responses. It turned out that it was a very old and unique crib….
To the auction
The buyer decided the next day to take the cot immediately to an auction house. There it turned out that the people on the forum were right: the cot was more than two hundred years old. She couldn’t believe it: after all these years, it was still in good condition! The auction house could not give her an exact price, but she decided to submit the cot for auction nevertheless. It would change her life…
Huge sums
During the auction there appeared to be a huge number of interested parties. Higher and higher prices were offered, until the last bid fell: over five hundred thousand euros. She couldn’t believe it! Suddenly she was rich, and all thanks to a crib! However, she also knew that she owed it to Karen, so she immediately sent her a message.
Both rich
The message stated that the buyer wanted to share the proceeds with Karen. So Karen was also completely out of money troubles in one fell swoop. Her daughter could go on a school trip and she had enough money to build their future. Karen started crying with happiness. She and the buyer became good friends, enjoying together the happiness that had fallen to them. Both their children and themselves were able to live in good wealth. What a chance find can do!
