You must be proud of your boy. I was wondering what you meant by "asked for the sale every time"? So how much did the yard sale make? :) A budding salesman in the making!

I was wondering what you meant by “asked for the sale every time”?

So how much did the yard sale make? :)

It was her very first and it was an experience for the both of us. I don't really know why I am so turned off by selling to the public. I was dreading it every step of the way. Although I did have a bunch of stuff of value that I just did not want to give away, yet. We only went 1 day (absolute must!) from 7am, and by noon we had nothing left. A swarm of bargain hunters bought everything in sight. It's funny though, people don't buy what you think will sell and buy what you think won't sell. It's weird. I blanketed the area with about 25 signs and placed a free ad on Craigslist. I did not want to place a newspaper ad and start $25 in the hole. All together we made about $360. Not for 5+ hours work. And nowadays I am doing what I can to make extra money on the side. For example I send my UPCs from the products I buy for free food vouchers. (ref: no coupon clipping ebook-google it) And I have started an intern program to hopefully learn how to make an online income (ref: OnlineBusinessInternProgram.com). These days every extra dollar really helps. My Mom and I had a garage sale on March 15th before the Texas heat hit us like today (it’s 91′).
