The garage sale is going really well, with neighbors and family also pitching in some items to sell. Alice and Audrey ran the sale for most of the day today, and they just left at about 2:30. My dad just left also, because he has to go play golf. Jenna is at, or on her way to, Indy for the 500. My mom is at work until 5:00, so I am home alone for 2 hours, running the sale, and I'm trying to put an ad in the South Bend Tribune before they close at 4.
UPDATE : OK I placed the ad, it went well, but I had to kind of ignore one guy who drove up. He didn't ask me any questions or anything, but he didn't get the "HELLOOO!" that we've been giving out to most everybody else. From my seat in the garage, it looks like everything is still out there, on the tables, on the driveway, and all around me. Only the money in my pockets could prove that anyone has bought anything. One guy was really nice and bought some sweet deals earlier and he said,
"Well I have to say this is probably the weirdest sale I've been to... Just with all the different stuff."
So congratulations and thank you to everyone who gave us some things to set out for this. It's just such a spectrum of items... my dad's RV surplus stock items, baby stuff, mens and womens clothes, toys, gun holsters, bikes, bags, purses, backpacks, textbooks, glassware, wedding stuff, electronics, the infamous LG Microwave/Toaster, a trailer wheel, some huge (RV Width) mudflap-rock guards, records, a boat motor, an in room air conditioner, mickey mouse bobbleheads, about a billion huge rolls of every kind of tape imaginable, a huge cat door that you have to install like a window air conditioner, and a ton of Jenna's photography. And that's just a very small sampling of what is still here! Today and yesterday were very busy with so many people and everyone buying stuff. Yesterday we were getting haggled a lot but today it has been pretty fair without much complaining.
Welp, brb, I'm gonna run inside for a drink of water while there are no cars here!
