Yard Sale

Yesterday we had our first yard sale! It was quite an interesting experience. Our neighborhood does a big one every 6 months and finally we decided to join in. We sold some stuff like old pictures, old exercise equipment, clothes, belts, dishes, lamps, baby gates, games, video games, vacuums, and tried to sell our treadmill, but apparently in the yard sale world $500 is like like asking for 1 million dollars. I think we are going to sell it on craigs list and see how that whole thing pans out. It was very fun though....we started at 6am and of course the people started showing up right at 6. We went until 10, and by that time we were just giving everything away! We did have a funny experience...how can you not in this kind of situation....an old man came by and was interested in something and couldn't make up his mind, so he lingered around for quite some time. He hung out with us for like 30 minutes in our garage and he proceeded to smoke constantly which filled up my house with the smell and all the clothes that were for sale...gross. Then he said he had to go to the bathroom, didn't ask, just said he had to, so we felt obligated to offer him ours. So after he used it I go in and of course he didn't flush the toilet or put the seat down...disgusting. This man is a total stranger! So finally we talk about what he is buying and we finally tell him he can have it for 10 dollars less, so immediately he pays us and leaves. It was like the whole time he was just buttering us up to try to get a lower price! These yard sale buffs are crazy!
