We call them "Garage Sales" here. I used to love going to them, but these days I don't get to many. Thanks for your visit and leaving a comment. I did<BR/>enjoy seeing my cousins as we are all getting older. Bill is almost 80<BR/>and his sister Pam near 70, Michelle is the baby only 66. I'm getting near<BR/>74. Take care, my friend, Love, Merle.Merlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05763778255535640633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030405.post-26187253789490231622008-04-03T21:08:00.000-05:002008-04-03T21:08:00.000-05:00Lucy... I have had a few yard sales and done quite well... it's been a long time though... I love to go to them but the main day they have them here is usually Friday and Saturday and I have to work... oh well.. keeps me from picking up clutter I guess... Yes, we tend to spoil Emmy a bit.. she is precious!! I love her to pieces.... Cecil p.s. glad you stopped by!! And glad you like my blog... yes, our family is very close... as you can tell!Cecilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00486287340810623429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030405.post-66285757738238509362008-04-03T17:39:00.000-05:002008-04-03T17:39:00.000-05:00One of my wife's girfriends never met a <I><B>"Garage Sale" </I></B>she didn't love!

Have had several in the past- but not for a few years now!<BR/><BR/>Have bought a lot off Ebay but have never sold! I honestly think your items would bring in more $$ sold through Ebay (I certainly have paid high prices for some junk that way! )...but it has always seemed it would be confusing and a lot of work to go that way...besides you'd still have your stuff around for awhile.<BR/><BR/>JunieJunieRose2005http://www.blogger.com/profile/10550860961892546101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030405.post-10832479560831421392008-04-03T09:37:00.000-05:002008-04-03T09:37:00.000-05:00Great advice Lucy! I need to have a yard sale. Some of the stuff I need to sell is stuff I have bought at yard sales! Looks like there's a lesson there for me, don't you think? HA!! I love going to yard sales but I have decided to NOT buy unless I actually need the item. <BR/><BR/>I have bought and sold on EBay.

All I need to do is put 25 cents on everything and leave. It talked of tv's. At one time I really wanted a small color tv for the kitchen. Now I have about4 good ones sitting in the farm shop begging for a new home.Cliffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12676389902079486865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030405.post-31590157677040133492008-04-02T10:16:00.000-05:002008-04-02T10:16:00.000-05:00Jim has a bunch of stuff to get rid of. He wishes eBay had been so popular nine years ago when we moved from the south end to the north end of Houston (Friendswood to Montgomery). <BR/>That probably would have financed our house. We had been at Friendswood for 23 years!<BR/>So far he just buys off eBay and hasn't sold anything. His youngest son sells things.<BR/>..<BR/>Jamie needed dispair. I'm just a little jealous. NOT THAT I WANT TO PREACH, MIND YOU! I almost called Lambie a 'Mutton Head' over there but I recanted.<BR/><BR/>I don't like mutton, but Mrs. Jim likes all kind of lamb, Jim will eat a lamb chop when it is cooked nicely.<BR/>..Adihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07310818649838069972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030405.post-83130596496253274522008-04-01T19:07:00.000-05:002008-04-01T19:07:00.000-05:00I personally feel that Yard Sales are incredibly time consuming and the returns are rarely worth the hard hard HARD work...! The alternative of Ebay is really something to consider, and you not only have all of this country, but many other county's too!<BR/><BR/>Very informative post, Lucy!OldOldLady Of The Hillshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030405.post-28651263603974997792008-04-01T17:46:00.000-05:002008-04-01T17:46:00.000-05:00"Signs with <B>easy to see</B> printing and arrows are good."<BR/><BR/>That part can't be emphasized too much.

I am really behind the times! <BR/>I love that part about early birds being shot on sight.<BR/>I cracked up over that. I guess that would NOT be a good thing to say in an ad.<BR/>I experienced yard sale paradise (or overload, depending on how you look at it) when we went on the World's Longest Yard Sale this past summer. It was so much fun! <BR/>We don't have enough junk at the moment to have a yard sale. Isn't that GREAT??!! <BR/>We do have a bunch of boxes in storage in CA. One of these days... months... years... we will go through those and have a lot to sell.Jamie Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11036600186909466411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030405.post-50575643733189864892008-04-01T13:02:00.000-05:002008-04-01T13:02:00.000-05:00p,s. that was the putz not me anonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030405.post-84670150984983091442008-04-01T13:01:00.000-05:002008-04-01T13:01:00.000-05:00how much do yards go for when your havinf a sale???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030405.post-133292103264888162008-04-01T07:41:00.000-05:002008-04-01T07:41:00.000-05:00So if I know how to blog and post pictures, I can sell on E-Bay? That's tempting. I have a ton of old junk I wouldn't mind getting rid of. We've done the yard sale thing pretty much every year, but usually it's not worth the time invested.Big Dave Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18363712781308133633noreply@blogger.com
