Well, the garage sale is done, and I still hate garage sales, especially since I only have $100 to show for it! Here are true stories from the day.
1. Do NOT show up an hour early to the garage sale and say "I thought you'd be open early" not apologize, and start looking around.
2. Furthermore, if you are that early bird do NOT ask for a bargain on things when chances are there are people later in the day that would pay full price for the deep discounts we had on comic books and a stroller. (Especially since you inconvenienced me in the first place.)
3. Do NOT ask for more than 50% off on a nice jacket, telling the cashier you only have $2, but then pay with a 5.
4. Do NOT take the whole box of something marked free. I doubt you can use 15 partially burnt candles! And especially don't do that if you are not going to buy something else!
5. Little gust of wind, do not come to my yard sale and knock over a piece of furniture and break it.
6. Do NOT use something that's for sale to kill a bug in my daughter's toy car that your daughter shouldn't have been playing in in the first place since it was in the marked off section of the yard!

Number 6 cracked me up! Sorry it wasn't a great sucess, but at least it is over!
Yea, sorry it wasn't a success. At least the blog post was! Next time try announcing your sale at a free online garage sale. Of course you can always sell the remaining items in your own online garage sale.
Good luck!
