Your total is...

Earlier this year my family and I moved into a new house. Now, we are swimming in things that no longer hold any interest for us. Our solution to our object pool is a rummage sale. Rummage sales take a lot of time. A lot. For us, what takes the most time is unpacking and going through things that we haven't even seen in a while. As we went through our boxes we have found so many things, that we were looking for but could not find. Now we realize that we don't want them anymore. Our garage is full of tables with items waiting for their price tags. Tonight all items will be priced. We price our items to sell, not to make a ton of money like some people. We have so much stuff to sell, we may not have enough table space.
My favorite part of the rummage sale is selling things. I get to sit at our table with the money box and haggle with people about prices. Last time we had a sale we sold almost everything on our tables. This time we have so much more stuff to price and more opportunities for making some money. Tomorrow I'll wake up early, go and sit in my sweatpants in the cold garage. Then I'll sit and wait, most of the time customers show up way early, but I hope they wait 'till opening time. At the end of the day I will be so glad to be closing up, but then I'll wake up early the next morning and do it all over again. Then at the end of the sale on Saturday, we pack up what's left (hopefully not much) and take it to Goodwill. I hope that a lot of people think of the old cliché, one mans trash is another mans treasure!!
