We had our very first garage sale this weekend. I've been to garage sales before, hoping to find something useful. Mostly tools of some sort, but I'm not an avid goer. This was my first time on the other side of the table, and it was weird. Selling the stuff you obviously don't want to people that probably won't want it either after they get home. The Man, of course, is a natural seller. He's extremely personable and was talking our stuff up like he'd been doing it forever. So we made a pretty good team. I kept the table looking neat and attractive and he sold the hell out of it. The plus side is we sold the two crusty grills that one, we haven't cooked on in a year, and the other came with the house. With these went our 10+ year blue chairs (sorry Mom, but now they belong to some lady from Kenya) and my old stereo. The down side is most of what we were trying to get rid of were my clothes and one look at me told any of these busty ladies that they would not be fitting in my old blouses. Next time we have a garage sale, I'm stuffing my bra and wearing baggier clothes. Not that it'll be anytime soon. Everything left over from this weekend is getting donated, so we'll be ready for our next sale in about 7 years.

Sounds like fun. Glad the chairs found a new home! Didya make any money??
About $100. Not bad for getting rid of junk we were going to donate anyway.
Hey that's pretty good! Rem that you can get a receipt and claim it on your taxes! .... I am going to miss your old stereo!
