The Yard Sale
We advertised an 8am start, and the people started arriving at 6:45am. We never even had a chance to eat breakfast. It was packed most of the day. After what seemed like hours of activity (me mostly greeting people, selling, and taking money, and Aaron bringing more and more stuff down), Aaron said it was noon. I thought, "Yeah. I’m hungry. Only two more hours." Turns out it was really 8:50am, and the clock had stopped. We ended up with $1,400 in our pockets! (It’ll all go to paying off bills to get us out of here, but it’s $1,400 we didn’t have before!) I’ve never seen anything like it! By the end, we were giving stuff away. Anyone in Memphis need a free microwave? Mine didn’t sell. I want to keep it for myself (might as well) until I go, but if you’re willing to wait a coupla weeks, it’s yours.
BTW, if you’re ever in Nashville, I highly recommend Obie’s pizza. It’s seriously some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. Since we couldn’t ever leave the sale, ordering pizza was a must!

Woah and double woah! First of all, that is some mucho bucks there…and second of all 6:45 am is way too early to arrive for a sale. I guess some folks really love their garage sales. 🙂
