#70: Garage Sale

So, my mom decided last minute on June 29 that we were going to have a garage sale on July 1st to help RJ and Esther make a bit of money for their wedding. I've already had everything I wanted to sell in a box, ready to go (just not priced), so it was easy to take everything over there. I stayed there from 10:30 till 6, the garage sale was from 9:30-6. Esther, Roxy, and mom were there too. Roxy and Esther took a few breaks to swim and such, which was great with the weather being so warm... I would have too except that I didn't have a swimsuit... at all. Anyway, afterward, I was exhausted.

We decided that, since not much sold (it was a Tuesday after all... and a bit last minute) we'd redo the sale on the 10th. My aunt brought a bunch of appliances and furniture down to the garage sale for Thursday as well. I also brought our treadmill (which I couldn't before because I didn't have the truck). We were disappointed in Thursday's sale as well (it was on a back lane, so not as many people see and show). So, after Thursday, mom decided it was to go again today. I said I wasn't going to be there today (I was there all day yesterday again too, and super exhausted afterward again... literally out of breath when I got home, how weird is that).

Anyway, I didn't have a whole lot there (just one box and the treadmill) and I don't know what sold today, but Tuesday I made just under $7, and yesterday made just over $38.

I remember why I don't care much for doing garage sales, but we're done now, so that is good. Now to take care of whatever didn't sell. We'll take most stuff to the thrift store, and the few items I decide not to, well, back into storage. At least I made a bit of money to put toward baby stuff... or maybe I'll buy Wii Fit!
