Yard Sale!

Yard sales are interesting things aren't they.

Things you will hear at a yard sale:

"Drive by" This is just checking to see if their junk is worth you spare change. More times than not, our Sat mornings are spent driving by.

On the chance that we do stop I can't tell you how many times I have looked at something and thought to myself, "You bought this new? On purpose? Really?? And you think you are really going to get money for it?? Wow!

Then there are those people who try and get full price for their things. I can understand baby clothes...but there is no way you are going to get that much money for the doll house...seriously. $300. It's a yard sale. Maybe I just don't understand the value of a potty training toilet. I know they hold somethings, but value isn't one of them.

Other times you can get the deal of a lifetime. The couches I have in my livingroom...yard sale! Right now they are covered with sharpie marker, thanks to my little Brig monster...artists! But they look really nice and were in perfect condition. And they were a really REALLY good price.

Then there are those people who drive around scooping up every super deal just so they can take the stuff and sell it on Craig's list. Jerks. They are out at like 6am stealing all the good stuff up only to make a profit on it a weeks later. Some people call that good business sense. I call it just mean!
