After much success with our first garage sale (over $450!!) we decided to participate in our community garage sale held yesterday to sell our remaining items. (Yes, a garage sale in December! That's the advantage of living in AZ) We had quite a comical day. The sale began at 7am....but of course everyone shows up early. It was pitch black outside and so cold!! It was in the 50's!!!! ha! But that didn't stop the dedicated garage sale goers. The porch lights gave off enough glow for them to hunt for their new treasures. The first 10 people or so to come all asked...."hey are you the ones with all the hunting and fishing equipment?" Seriously.....does it look like I have a bunch of guns and fishing poles!! The cars would slowly approach....get close enough to see that our 1 slab of concrete didn't amount to crap....and then sped away. Devin and I would make bets to see if they would stop. I think we even had some sympathy lookers because they felt bad nobody was stopping. I even had a guy drive by and yell...." hey, lady! that's the smallest garage sale I've ever seen!!!" Thank you sir!! We gave up about 11am. We loaded the rest and dropped it off at Good Will. I'm done with garage sales for awhile. Total profit for the day........a whoppin $43.75.
