If you've ever thought about having a garage sale, here are a few things I've learned first-hand this past weekend. Bargain shoppers drive around neighborhoods @ 6am with a wad of $1 bills ready to shop. A single $1 can be a deal breaker, even if the customer drives a gas guzzling $50k SUV Nothing will sell for over $20. City Code officers work on Sundays and will come by to make sure that you pick up any statues, signs, or stuffed animals you use to promote your garage sale. Asian ladies are hustlers. They use broken english and point out every flaw to demoralize and confuse you to score the deal of a lifetime. Magazines will sell, but customers will browse through a pile of hundreds for 10-15 minutes to find that one issue. Dont sell a TV without a remote control, b/c they will use this to try justify selling it to them for 1/2 off. You will meet everyone from Cheech and Chong to MIT graduates. Most of all be prepared for insults and haggling....good luck |
