For the love of yard sales

[jwkelly]

Last Flea Market I went to was Englishtown NJ which was 1 and a half years ago,great way to kill a day as a buyer and great deals but as a seller it's a task(have to pack the truck up full the day before which takes hours then leave at 4:30 am to be there at 6:00 am and you  until 3:00 pm to sell then you have to pack up and be gone by 5:00 pm) Some days you can do great and others it's a loss(tolls 2 ways,gas,food,time,table fee(s)   I decided to just give stuff away to the Salvation Army,libraries,friends instead of that hassle and do this(you can lie in bed and relax,no temptation to spend your earnings  either).

I love to go to yard sales. You can find a lot of interesting things. Someones trash is someone elses treasure.

I don't really go to yard sales, but I like to have one of my own.  Its fun to talk to people who stop by and make a few extra bucks.

I wish I took more time with yard sales.

I often don't think about them until I am passing them, and in a hurry to get someplace else.

I have to make some time for those. Great opportunities often.

Thanks for the reminder.

My sis and I are so anxious for Spring to get here so we can do more yard sale-ing!! She is semi-retired now and only works 1 or 2 days a week and I'm going down to 2 or 3 days a week soon. We have an online business that keeps us busy and we resale a lot of what bargains we find at yard sales. We keep track of what we spend and what we make on the re-sale! It's a lot of work but also so very fun!!
