Results: The Garage Sale

We made about $200 from the sale, and got rid of a lot of things we didn't want to put back in the attic. Aside from the dude who lied to me about a "pocketknife" he was buying (it was a Swiss tool that I had put a $20 price tag on, not a pocketknife that I put a $3 price tag on), it was a nice day. We donated the leftover clothes to Goodwill and I will donate the leftover books to the library, leaving just some plastic cups and a wicker chair to put away.

Note to self for future garage sales: Don't try to sell old lamps or lampshades. No one is interested.

$200 is not bad. We had a yard sale that was all day for a whole weekend. It was about 16 hours of work just trying to sell our crap and we only made $80. That sort of sucked.

I guess selling the lawn mower for $50 helped.

Heck yeah!
We sold no big items at our sale, though we did sell an old car seat for $5. That was hot.
