Yard sale this weekend.
« on: July 20, 2013, 06:03:30 pm »
Friday and Saturday I did a yard sale and I am amazed with the people in the town I live in. Number one a yard sale is not retail and we don't accept credit cards or checks. Number 2 when you go to a yard make a counter offer on the things because more than likely the price will come down. I am very grateful that I am done doing yard sale for a few months.  :wave:

In our town, we have many flea markets.  The people who loves the work of flea markets, I call them professional garage sale associates.  They scout for items.  It is free to use the penny saver on items under $100.  I see people shopping in the yard sales when I pass them by.  I love them and never, never go to a yard sale without cash.   :wave:

Someone seriously wanted to pay with a credit card?  Wow.  Although nothing surprises me.  I wouldn't accept a check either.  Most likely it is not good.  Or at least where I live. 

Somebody mentioned flea markets.  The area I live in there is a couple in a neighboring town but I have heard from a friend that a person comes around with a big book and she is referred to as "the tax lady" and you have to pay a set amount and fill out this paper and she gives you a ticket that is good for one month.  Plus you have to pay for your space.
