Yard sales are big business in my neck of the woods. I gather a years worth of crap that my parents and I have stored in the garage. Pull it all out into the front yard. Slap a price on it and then watch them swarm. It doesn’t take any advertising at all, people spend their Saturday mornings trolling the area looking for the discarded junk of strangers. It is amazing to me.
This year I had a funny request:
“Do you have wires? “What kind of wires?” “Any kind of wires? Phone wires? Computer wires? Chicken wire?” “I have computer wires and phone wires, but they go with the computer and phone I am selling.” “Well, how much is the computer and phone?” “Computer 25 and phone is 5.” “I’ll take it.” He handed me 30 dollars, gathered his wires and started to walk away. “Wait, you forgot your computer and phone.” “I told you, I just need the wires.” Great, now how am I going to explain what happened to the wires when I try and sell the computer and phone, again.Check out my yard sale:
This the garage the night before.
The yard the next day. We earned 486.00 on this stuff. I should quit my day job and do yard sales full time.
Do you hold an annual yard sale or garage sale? Do you ever buy stuff from yard sales?
