We had our first yard sale last weekend and well,talking about it in great detail would be boring but perhaps if I keep it brief you may find the humor that I did.
Weeks of preparing, organizing & garage cleaning.
Prices marked & junk sorted
neon green Yard Sale signs made and hung
One crazy morning
One beautiful September day
6 hours in the sun on my front porch selling stuff I'd usually just donate
$130 profit and a sunburn
Leftover stuff turned free pile until it rained
equals one large truck full of stuff to Goodwill
Where the donation line is almost in the street so...
Vern drops me off in the front of Goodwill
Vern returns to the back of the store to wait in line to unload our leftovers.
15 minutes later...
We walk out the front of the store with bags of new junk I bought with my garage sale money.
We arrive home to celebrate the new found space in our garage.
Only then do we realize what lies ahead...
Weeks of preparing, organizing & garage cleaning.
Lesson Learned: Next time just donate it in the first place. You get a tax write off and a coupon for 30% off one item....I'm thinking that's totally worth it ;)
