4 women were selling their spring cleaning finds. The auctioneer had taken meager notes on the acceptable (lowest bid) prices and who was selling what. He can only remember the following. The items are, bizarrely enough: a gold-plated feather duster, a talking Kleenex box, a marshmallow sculpture, and a locking lipstick organizer. Can you help him get the auction started? Going once, going twice....
1.The four women were: Serafina, the one who wanted at least 35 dollars, the one who found her item in the garage, and the one who wanted 10 dollars less than the lady selling the locking lipstick organizer.
2. Fedora found her item under the bed.
3. Illumina did not want the most or the least for her item.
4. The cheapest starting price was for the Kleenex box that says "Bless you".
5. The item from the attic had to start at 20 dollars.
6. The sculpture (not Serafina's) was found in the linen closet.
7. The auctioneer thought Finnielle's high price of 35 dollars was absurd.

...and sold, to our LG submitter lady in the first row!!! Great to see more of these coming from you, they are very good and they help me, as many others, improve my own work. Keep them coming!
Thanks, I enjoyed this one. Not too easy, not too hard.
nice!
Fun and not too hard. I enjoyed the story.
Fun teaser for a rainy day with kids. THANKS!! More please.
Thanks for the nice comments. I didn't want to do a really hard one, though those seem to score a little higher. Sometimes you just want to write or solve a quicker one, ya know?
This was cool...
Hard enough to want to take a pad of paper out, but easy enough so I didn't feel like a complete idiot to solve...keep them up!

Thanks for the semi-easy one! I like the ones I can really get!!!
i got stuck, confused by the line "The sculpture (not Serafina's) was found in the linen closet."
very nice!
The sculpture was found in the linen closet. The sculpture was not Seraphina's find. Therefore, Seraphina found her item somewhere other than the linen closet.
Thanks for commenting!
