Garage Sale
We had our first garage sale this morning. I was a little hesitant on how many people were going to show up. All we did to advertise was post it on craigslist and put up two signs around the neighborhood. I really thought it was going to be disastrous and we were going to be stuck trying to sell all our unwanted furniture and electronics online. I put on craigslist that the sale wouldn't start till 8 and Kevin went and put the signs up about 7:15 this morning. We had our first customer by 7:20 and most everything was gone by 9:30!!! It was awesome!! We sold two end tables, a nightstand, desk, portable pantry thing, a grill, a bookshelf, a bunch of wall art, high chair, a coffee table, laptop, digital camera and a few other odds and ends. We made around $260. The only big item we have left is a dresser, which was also the most expensive item. Which we will hopefully sell very soon on craigslist. Even though our house has already been rented, we even had a couple people ask about it too. After 9:30, our driveway was so bare people would just drive by slowly to see what we had and then drive off. It got to the point of embarrassment with what we had left, so we decided to shut it down and call it one heck of a successful garage sale. It feels so good to be rid of all that stuff. Now our moving truck won't be packed out with a bunch of junk.

ReplyDeleteAnd now, you move to Texas!
Y'all must have sold that stuff cheap, but I know you wanted to get rid of it. $260 will put Lydia in diapers for a little bit! Can't believe the house is already rented. Moving right along..No pun intended!
