Granny here,
Just wanted to write a little about the fun I've been having lately having a yard sale right from my living room couch thanks to the local yard sale page here in the city where I live. I'm sure that most cities have one going and it can prove to be profitable as well as giving the opportunity to meet new people.
I have been busy listing all the extra items that my mother and I have accumulated over the years, things we have made in our many hours of crafting and just stuff in general. So far we have generated extra money to the tune of around $700.00, not to bad for a few postings on the web site and a few trips to a local parking lot to make the exchange.
I've met some nice ladies in this process and I hope they feel the same. I have been able to supply a few things that they were looking for and they have been able to take them off my hands, kudos for everyone.
This is a great idea but there are drawbacks, there are those that post comments that are rude, people who have a personal conflict going on with another person on there, those that will promise to buy but never do and those that never show up while you're waiting in the designated meeting place. There are always those rude participators who try to kill it for the rest of us but you just have to take it in stride and keep on going.
For the most part everyone has proven to be on the up and up and have come through with their end of the bargain but there have been some disappointments. But for a pasttime that has it's benefits the downside is worth it and we can hope that it gets better as we go along. So for now I will keep posting and hope that customers keep coming and my mad money stash will take me on a vacation before summer is over.
Granny here, just saying!
