The rain held off and our yard sale was a success. We ended up making around $250 and got rid of a lot of stuff. The yard sale started at 8, but the "early birds" came a little before 730. Luckily, we got up early and started setting up. Around 930am, "Sammy the price slasher" (aka: Jimmy with a sharpie) came out and started slashing prices. You only have a small window to get everything sold and if it didn't get sold it was going to Goodwill, so our price slashing worked, led to little haggling from the seasoned yard sale pros and a only a little leftover to take to Goodwill.
Our favorite part of the yard sale were the two girls across the street who decided to set up a lemonade stand to capitalize on the traffic of our usually quiet street. Who can resist these cuties?? and at 10 cents a cup, it's a deal! She said she made $14 and that she was going to buy something for her little sister. Jimmy and I always say that if we pass a lemonade stand that we HAVE to stop and buy a cup, it always makes their day and yours too!
