Got up early this morning to get ready for the carport sale. People were here already at 7am (sale started at 8). I am at a dead-end so I put up a lot of big bold signs and some bright mylar balloons to attract attention. Boy did that work! Everyone coming into the park made a bee line for my sale! We were busy constantly til about noon.
I wanted to go look at other sales but my roommate was not feeling well and had to keep running to the bathroom, so I couldn't leave. My real estate agent was supposed to show up at 9am and help us for a couple hours but she didn't get here until after 10:30. I made a run down the street to the lemonade stand and bought some cupcakes and goodies (for the HOA) and came right back. My agent was already gone by then for another appointment. Probably best that I didn't go spending my money on more stuff I would then have to move with me. I ended up making about $300. I sold my portable fireplace and the patio set, plus lots of smaller things. We didn't have much left by noon. So it was a great success!
At 1:30 I closed up shop, took down the signs and went and took a 3 hour nap! There is a HOA dinner tonight with tacos that I am thinking of going to. It already started so I better figure it out soon here! I have a headache but maybe eating will help. I think I will head down there now.
Glad Lyn made it to Sue's! Have fun!
Barbie, Romeow, and Sophie, missing Lola! (and lots of ferrets running around in my heart!)
