Success!!

So our garage sale was a huge success...two days prior to the actual sale a couple stopped by and asked if we would sell our weight lifting set early (we advertised in the paper) and we said HECK YEAH! Then a day before the garage sale a different couple stopped by and asked if we would be willing to sell some of our baby stuff a day early...SURE!!! And then yet another couple stopped by and asked if we would be willing to sell our elyptical machine early...No problem!! SWEET! So before we even opened on our sale day we already had $121 in sales!! YES!

Christy came down for the event to help me out...mostly to keep me company out there and we opened the doors at 6:30am (listed in paper at 7am) but the first customer didn't show up until close to 8am!! I was worried I sold all I was going to sell in the days prior to the actual sale. But it picked up and we ended up selling over $320 worth of stuff! YES! So it was a good day! Oh and I met some neighbors! Even better! Super nice people here I tell ya!

So we closed up shop after no one came for over an hour!! Last sale was our jogger stroller at like noon...and then nothing...we had a couple people stop by WAY later and ask if we sold our stroller...too late! So we have our basement back (no more boxes full of garage sale fodder!) YIPPEE!! I'm so excited!

Ok, off to chat with my sis again!

Didn't you just get the eliptical??? I am wanting one so I am sad I didn't know. Oh well. Great day that you are all cleaned out.

We purchased it about 5 months before I found out I was preggers with Camden and then we moved here where we have no place for it where it is out of the way and plus we have a fitness center that is like 3 blocks away that is completely free to go to! :-) Wish I would have known so many people were interested in it...bummer! :-(
