Yard Sales

Saturday I held a yardsale in Enterprise to try to get rid of some stuff we had accumulated. I did not know how it was going to go, because the weather was very cold early, and I did not put an ad in the paper. I did put up seven signs around at some busy intersections, and the overall traffic was good. I sold most of the stuff and came out pretty good. I sold zero books, even at $1 or $2 for hardbacks. I had an almost new Mr. Coffee in the box and it did not sell. THere were some clothes that did not sell and one Angel from Christmas that a lady offered me 50 cents for. I was insulted. Those unsold items were donated to the Christian Mission. I even sold a pair of my old shoes and one man came back at five and wanted the shirt he had not purchased that morning. Of course, it was gone, and it was not one I gave to the Christian Mission. I gave my brother-in-law the corner desk for his bedroom and my mother-in-law took three little left over items. I was glad for them to have those things.

Two of the best sales were the washer bought by a young lady and the apartment stove bought by a man whose other one had stopped working. I also sold an old window air conditioner.

The man who came back for the missing shirt wanted me to have another sale next month. Ha! That is just way too much work. I would have to accumulate more stuff to junk up the house I am working on, and I certainly don't want to do that. But if I do, I will let you all know so you can come buy some stuff.
