What a bust!

Moving out of the country? Have too much crap stuff? Can't take any of it with you?

Have a garage sale!!!

How perfectly logical and possibly profitable... "You have so much REALLY good stuff. You'll make SOOOOO much money," all of my friends told me.

So, why am I blogging... ALONE... on my front lawn, still surrounded by all of my crap... er, really good stuff? (deep sigh)

Our last "busybody browser" came by an hour ago. He told me I was charging too much for a tripod and then proceeded to list everything else that I'm doing WRONG with this sale... everything from the location (umm, not much I can do there...) to the time of year.

"This," he said pointing to all the merchandise still piled up on my lawn, on my driveway, and in my garage, "is NOT normal for this time of day....". Then he left without the tripod that I said he could have for a $1...

Thanks for nothing... jerk.

Oh, hon. I'm so sorry. Maybe a great tax write off if you give some of it away?

Are you freaking out or getting excited? Is the house up yet? Still sane?

That sux. I am sorry. I am sure it will all work out. a buck for a tripod? I'd buy that.

Have you tried putting things up on Craig's List?
