My observations on garage sales...

*Every year I say to my husband, "Remind me not to do this next year."

*You never think you have that much stuff, until you start putting prices on it...then it seems the piles will never end.

*The junk that you almost threw out while putting prices on (because you never imagined anyone would actually buy it)...it the thing that sells first.

*People do not start showing up... until you go in the house to use the restroom.

*If you cut a deal on one item...it is very hard to refuse a deal on the next item.

*Some people don't really come to buy your stuff...they come to check out your house, because they have "always wondered who lived here."

*Some people are just really nice.

*Some people are just really cheap.

*Garage sales are addicting, in a very weird and twisted sort of way. I get excited when someone buys something for $1.00, when I paid $8.00 for it...and never used it. I am not coming out ahead...so why do I feel so good about the sale?

*At the end of the day, when you've sold a lot of stuff and made good money...it's hard not to dream of next year's garage sale.

*But then you remember what you told your husband the night before.
