Had a yard sale. I have a large yard sale every single year. It's a lot of work, but boy oh boy do I have fun. :)
It was part of the town wide yard sale.
Made okay money, got rid of lots of stuff. I found people were really cheap this year...had one person offer me 25 cents for articles worth about $3, and then got upset when I said nope. about 5 minutes after she left, I turned around and sold it again for $2.50. I find it annoying at times. But at the same token, I find it amazing how I can purchase the 50 cent boxes at auctions and turn it around and make a profit. Can't complain on that at all.
BUT I had a hoot. I met people from all over the place. farthest this year was Hamilton, most from nearby towns.
I was dog-tired by the end of the day.
I loaded up stuff in the van to take down value village. All the stuff left over from my friend who joined me. as well as stuff I didn't want to bother trying to sell.
The rest is still in the garage waiting for me to take it downstairs. It's been terribly hot this week so it just isn't happening all that fast.
I am hoping at the end of summer to take things down to London and see if I can sell things at my MIL's place. We'll see how it all turns out. But it would be fun to have another sale sometime.
