A garage sale was something Grant and I talked about doing for a while, but never really wanted to do it. So of course we choose the weekend where we are having 100 degree weather! Thankfully it was cool in the morning of and it all worked out.
We put up signs around our neighborhood and listed it on a few websites. We both agreed (me begrudgingly) that it should start at 9 am. So I got up at 8 am with the intent of getting everything outside to start the sale at 9 am. Lo and behold, there is already people waiting outside our front door waiting for the garage sale to start.
I quickly start laying stuff out and a mass horde of people start grabbing it and putting it into piles. Grant must have heard the commotion, wakes up and begins bringing stuff outside. He told me he felt like an auctioneer. As soon as he would bring something out, a person would want to buy it before it made it all the way out the door.
We planned on being out there from 9 to 12, but in reality it was 8 to 10:30. We sold out of nearly everything and the few things leftover we put outside with a free sign. Our total haul was $1,209.00. Not bad for about 5 hours of total work!
Plus we have more free space for me to buy more stuff. Win-win!
