I sold out, every thing I had in the wife's garage sale sold today. My wife didn't do so good, lol. She said it was the poorest yard sale she ever had. I got better prices for the traps I sold than what tailgaters get at a convention. The Amish don't mind paying the price.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

This sound so familiar. Our old place was 4.5 mile down gravel. But just before it turns to gravel there is a place that has events.

One weekend my wife thought a ya red d sale would be a good idea during those events. She p
Spent a lot of time and effort getting things ready and the yard layed out.

I took a few cheap scopes that came with guns or I some how ended up with and had been in my way for years out to her sale. My stuff sold she didn't do so well.

Since then goodwill drop off trips became more common for her. Guess she figured yard sales out in the country are not worth the effort.

I have 24 Sale signs I use when we have a Country sale.
We live 7.5 miles out of town and we do Extremely well on Wednesdays, Thurs. & Saturdays- half day.
Fridays suck; people don't hardly ever change their Friday Plans. We chose up Thursday night and open Again Friday.

I believe in having a sign every 45 seconds while driving. No one turns around.
