Garage sales. Yuck! I promise myself I am never going to have them again. I find myself doing it over and over again. Why? It is the setting up and pricing things that blows chunks! This last weekend, my friend needed to sell some things. Her husband and her blended 2 families together and she needed space in her house. So to help her get motivated to do it, I added my junk to the mix and helped set it up. Luckily, I had most of my things priced from last year when we were going to have a garage sale.
The funny part is, we set up on Halloween. We did not have the sale that day as both of us were busy with children's parties at school. Then taking kiddos trick-or-treating. Most of it was set up during the day. It is November, but we had two of the warmest days to do this. When people stopped by to trick-or-treat, they looked through to mess and bought things. How great is that? Her daughter made cookies and my son sold soda. Both made good money off of the sale. Of course I bought all of the soda so I am out lots of money while he pockets it all. Bugger.
People amaze me at these things. The stuff you think won't sell at all is what flies out the door first. I sold so many toys it was crazy. Not good quality toys. We are talking most of them were McDonalds toys. McDonalds here I come for more toys.
