Would You Take A Quarter For This????
Ahhh, it's almost Summer and you know what that means? It's yard sale time! My brave sister-in-law Melanie and I decided to gather up all our junk and haul it out back to try to make a few bucks so we can go out and buy...more junk??? And my Mom has even gotten in on the act...she plans on bringing a truck-load of stuff over tomorrow too. It'll soon be time to "grin and bear it" as some old lady strolls over to me and asks if I'll take a dime for something that's marked 25 cents. And I will grit my teeth and happily take the dime because I am just dying to get rid of whatever piece of junk she now owns. The best is when they return the next day and tell you that the phone you sold them for 50 cents does not work and that they'd like they're money back. Then you start thinking "Why didn't I just rent a dumpster and save myself the torture?". Poor Shane gets to take the day off work tomorrow only to be up by 6am to help anyway. You have to be out early because even though your ad says 8am the "early birds" will be by around 6:30am. A few years ago I even had a man knocking on my door the night BEFORE asking to see my DVDs! I told him no, and there he was the next morning at 6am! Some people are just plain weird! We wanted to set up our stuff tonight but it's really raining so I guess we'll be up early tomorrow. If you're in the area and looking for good deals please stop by.....or you could just wait until Saturday when we'll be giving it away!!!

You are sooo funny. How did it go?
Did someone really return a phone that you sold them that didn't work? Gee elderly people and their bargain shopping, nothing unless its free.
