The Garage Sale Results
=
Fabulous! We couldn't be happier, unless it all went bye bye. Mostly we were happy to unload most of our formerly dearest possessions. It was easier than we thought. The neighborhood to the south was also having garage sales and had posted wonderful signage. As the shoppers were on their way to those sales they stopped at ours too.
Dave had also put an ad in Craig's List and that brought a young couple to buy our couch and loveseat, and on the way out they decided on the set of gold plated flatware too.
Anne Lullie and Emily Parson stopped by and contributed to the unloading. Of course I made them take more than they wanted...freebies to friends is fair.
I kept going through drawers and finding more stuff to sell, but the furniture went first. Many of the items were things I originally got at garage sales too. We sold a few things for more than we spent, like the exercycle. Dave got it only a few months ago and made $25 profit on its resale. Who knew?
Now we just have the leftovers to discard. The garage needs to be emptied for our first semi-move at the end of this week. O Boy!

    Go back to Craigslist and post the leftovers to the FREE column. You just put everything out at the curb and folks will just come and take it without a word.

  2. Good job on taking the lead and doing the "Garage Sale Thang." Anything you can do to make your load lighter, literally and figuratively!
