So, we had our yard sale this weekend. It went really well! we sold most of the big stuff, and then donated the clothes/toys/dishes we had still had left to salvation army. It was a long weekend though since we were up late friday night, till midnight, pricing and organizing everything b/c we were picking stuff up last minute friday evening. Then, we got up at 5:15 am on saturday to set it all up and get ready for people by 7. Apparently, here in South Carolina Yard Sales opening at 7am is not uncommon - I don't get it. Anyway, we had a washer/dryer set (only 3 years old) to sell, a big screen TV and some bikes, toys, nice clothes, dishes, random things.... the good stuff went and we decided not to count anything until the end of the day.
At about 1, we left what was there and headed to campus with Jessie - again THANKS JESSIE!! YOU ARE A GREAT HELP! we set up shop on the library bridge with two coolers - one powerade, one water. asking for donations in exchange for hydration. yeeeea, didnt go as well as we thought. we ended up figring out that we only made about $80 there. we are better off going to Lowe's or Walmart to collect donations since that went so well.
Anyway, all in all we made somewhere just over $600 for the day and I have half that to deposit. So, I'm still happy.
