8.30 am Saturday Morning
It is amazing to me what kind of crap people will buy at a garage sale. I am currently sitting in my in-laws garage selling what I thought was some worthless crap. I think that the funniest thing is that the nice stuff (computer printer, scanner, TV and George Forman grill) has not sold. The crazy thing is that within 5 minuets of opening the garage door we had sold over $20 of stuff. Don’t get me wrong; I am selling people for a great deal. I sold one old lady an already used candle for a dollar. Good news! I just sold the George Forman! I only used it once. But as most of you know… I am not the most lean and mean grilling machine you have ever met. The other thing that I am noticing is that women will buy almost anything it you give them a deal. Someone just bought a hair crimper that Andrea had when she was like 15. And this is why some people get stuck in the 80’s. They go to a garage sale and but stuff that they wanted back then. And now they can get it. Women are buying shoes that don’t even fit. This makes no sense to me. I have had two offers from people to buy my mother in-laws Jeep, and one on our Lexus. Now these were not good offers, because if they were, I would take them.
It is now 9.29 am. We have sold over $250 of stuff. Most of which sold for less than a dollar.
Needless to say I am happy that all of this stuff is leaving my house. And I love taking peoples money. Which lease me to my next point. In the near future, davejac.net will have bumper stickers. (Geoff I need your help with this) once they are up please buy a ton of them. They will help support the good folks at the .net. So buy one for everyone you know.
I have to go back to selling crap.
