Garage Sale
Well, we did it. We actually had a garage sale. It wasn’t exactly ideal weather today, as anyone in the area can attest to. We woke up to rain, which let up enough for us to get stuff set up, but then not long after 10:00 (when our sale actually started) it really poured for a while, and we had to cover stuff up. Fortunately, we were able to keep most things in the garage or under the tarp, so we could still sell stuff in the rain. The rest of the day was actually pretty dry, but still cold and cloudy. So not too terrible. I had been a little worried that it would rain all day. A bunch of people showed up early while we were still dragging stuff up from the basement. It was kind of annoying, but they did buy a lot of stuff, so it was worth it. Several people came during the rain, too, which was surprising. Overall, I think we had a really successful garage sale. We got rid of a whole bunch of stuff, and actually made some money. We now have a big wad of one and five dollar bills. No one bought our couch, though. We couldn’t put it outside, so we had a sign saying it was inside, but most people didn’t go look at it. So now all that’s left to do is donate the left-over stuff, and try to find someone to buy the couch (or give it away if necessary). I enjoyed having the sale. It was cool to see people actually buying our stuff. It was tiring, though, so it’s not like it’s something I’d do on a regular basis. I imagine that after a few years we will have once again amassed enough junk to have another one, though. It’s amazing how much stuff you can fit in a house.
