Garage Sale disappointment

June 24th, 2007 at 07:10 pm

I rolled out of bed yesterday morning and was actually able to stay awake long enough to go garage saling. My goal, of course, is not more junk for my home! Smile My goal is to find some good ebay goodies. Unfortuneately, not much to be found! Frown I went to 11 sales and could'nt find anything I thought was viable. Bummer! Maybe I will try again this Wednesday!

Doing bad on my dieting! May have to let this go for a while and come back to it later. Still keeping the weight I did lose off!

My biggest challenge is (was) eating out!! I am happy to report that I am trying very hard to keep our finances on the straight and narrow and I have been cooking our dinner at home every night for a week (whether anyone will eat it or not!)! Cupboards and freezer are getting low, but I don't want (nor can I, according to our finances) restock until we get back from our trip to the lake. I may even try to stretch it to after the 4th of July!

    I think buying at yard sales to resell on ebay gets harder and harder as more people start ebaying on their own. Many people now only yard sale the stuff that they couldn't sell on ebay themselves.

    I've been finding two different types of yard sales - the "professional ones" and "need to sell". The professionals - folks who seem to have one every six months, don't seem to have really good stuff. The need to sells - maybe a little better, but they've been selling on craigslist.com beforehand also. You might want to check out craigslist.com too.

    I miss garage sales. I moved here from a college town where there were tons of them to choose from every weekend. Here, they may be one or two a month. The big thing here is auctions, but hard to find kids clothes and such at auctions.

    I think that when it comes to bulkier items such as furniture, craigslist is probably a better idea. Most people going to a garage sale are looking for something for nothing. It's almost better to sell one item at a time or put it into a good and reputable consignment shop.
