De-junkify

Garage Sale Season.

I am pretty sure that I have talked about this before.  The time of year when everyone decides to de-junkify  their house and try to make a profit. 

I'm not putting it down. 

I do it almost every year.

This year the event is at our house during our neighborhood sales.  People come from 100 plus miles out of town to hit our neighborhood sales, so there is always a decent crowd weather permitting.   Six families are getting together and bringing curios of all kinds.  All of us said that we did not have much this year, but once you get it all put together......... we could probably fill a semi trailer.

I like garage sales.  Over the years they have furnished my apartments in college, fed hobbies for cheap, provided mint condition clothing for Carter and brought in a little extra money when it was needed.

I was at a Pampered Chef meeting the other day and one of the other consultants was talking about the garage sales she just had.  They are moving out of state and getting rid of stuff and over 3 sales they made $5000.  How????  That is like $1600 per sale!  I'm lucky if I make $40.  

While I do not expect to make that much at a garage sale....probably ever..... I still enjoy them for the fact that they give me a small piece of mind when it comes to cleaning out the clutter of my home.

A co-worker of mine calls them garbage sales.

But hey, One mans trash is another mans treasure.
