Today was a neighborhood garage sale here in good ole Daniels Crossing. Set up by the homeowner’s association, everyone was encouraged to clean out the garages and closets and be a part of the selling madness.
Officially the sale was from 7am to 1pm but Dan and I didn’t get up with the chickens to get started that early. Instead we got up around 7:30 this morning and headed out to set out of modest 2 tables worth of stuff.
When I opened the garage door this morning….it was crazy out there. Mike, the neighbor 3 houses west of ours, had quite the inventory sitting out in front of his house. He is always having yard sales it seems like one every month so he was in hog heaven today. At any rate, he had such the spread, that people were swarming around the corner. Too bad his house is literally on the corner, in the turn. Cars were blocking the road on more than one occasion so we saw about 3 different rumbles almost happen. One lady was so pissed off that she actually got out of her car, went over to the other car, opened their passenger side door and scream cuss words at the car load of them. Then as our luck goes, once the bottle neck was cleared out, she stopped at OUR HOUSE to shop. EEEEEEEK! But I have to say, that I was able to talk her off the ledge. Haha… perhaps I turned her day around.
So after about 2 hours, we had sold off most of the stuff that we wanted to part with so we cleaned up and called it day. All in all, minus the change we had on hand to make change, we made $215. Not too shabby for 2 hours worth of “work”. I love garage sales.
