Rummaging
Yesterday and today Mike and I held a rummage sale. I think that rummage sales are one of those things that always sounds like a great idea beforehand, but is less than stellar afterwards. We were pretty lax about advertising, and so as a result we only made about thirty bucks. And only six of those dollars were from things purchased by strangers - the rest were from friends who dropped by.
Ah well. Thirty bucks is thirty bucks, and it's less stuff cluttering up our place.
The next time we have a rummage sale, we'll advertise it better. There will be newspaper ads, internet ads, flyers, spam emails, telemarketing, and skywriting!
Either that or we'll just buy another sign at Ace and put it up a day ahead of time. Either way, it'll be better.

we live in an area where people are always having yard and garage sales. all bran did was put up a sign at the corner (we live on the corner house) and they did come...in droves. by the time the whole thing was over we had money in our pockets, a whole lot less junk and only a little that needed to be donated.
