And so it began. The garage sale that is:-) We set out all our wares and junk and waited. Half an hour and no one came, then they started trickling in. By ten a.m. the place was hoppin'! And let me tell you - we had quite the group.
The born-again Christian talking about cops and how God uses them to help keep us in line. At least that's what I think his message was. All I know is he liked to talk, he told me you get a lot of hash browns at Mr. D's with the breakfast special, and he didn't buy anything.
Then there's the guy who buys lighter fluid because he might need some someday. (But let's be fair - we were the ones selling it for a quarter in the first place.)
The woman who bought the costume jewerly for her grandaughters. Including a fake diamond ring so big it fell off my thumb. I hope her granddaughters are giants;-)
The couple who sounded as if they'd just stepped off the stage of Jerry Springer - he's apparently leaving his wife for this woman, and if so, I'd hate to meet the wife.
The girl (and I say girl because she looked about 18) who was about 9 months pregnant and smoking a cigarette. And the boy with her looked like he'd been in a nasty bar fight the day before and had stitched up his own face.
The women who buy everything, just to buy something (at least that's my theory).
So all in all, an interesting day. And we made some mad cash:-)

How long is this garage sale lasting?? Selling any LEGO collectibles?
