the yard sale

So on Friday and Saturday I had a yard sale (along with my grandparents and my aunt). I decided it'd be a great idea to sell some of my stuff, since I'm moving out to Cali and won't need it. I already sold the big things such as my TV, car, furniture, etc, but I also wanted to sell the smaller stuff.

The weather was actually fairly nice both days, it rained just a small bit on Monday, but not enough to make us close the sale. After all of it, I made about $80 which is $60 more than I expected, so I'm happy about it. I ended up taking the rest of it to the local Goodwill since that's where I usually take my unwanted stuff.

It was a fun experience, but at the same time I hope I never have to do it again. I've decided that I'll only buy things I absolutely need, rather than keep things that I'll never need and eventually sell anyway. That's just my two cents on the whole thing. One more weekend left!

Wow, $80 is pretty damned good! That's cool you donate the rest, because someone will get use from the stuff.

I know what you mean, I have bounced around all over and I now have stuff stored in three places, it's such a hassle!

Good luck!
