I guess the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure" is a true statement. At least it worked at our garage and barn sale this past weekend. Bob spent quit a bit of time cleaning out the barn and gluing chairs and tables back together and I spent just as much time going through every room in the house and the back unfinished "catch-all" room. We cleaned and organized everything, borrowed six tables from the church, priced every item. We had a great time visiting with all the neighbors that came by. And when it was all said and done we totaled up the money and made $1,050. I'd say that was worth all the work we put into it. We're going to have another one next spring and hopefully get rid of all the extra stuff we don't need or use that I couldn't bare to part with this time.

if you dont use it between now and next spring, you dont need it. Glad you made some money off of your "trash".
Wowee~ That's a nice hunk o' change for some trash! Glad it went so well.
Boy, I'm impressed. You must have had quite a lot of items that were far above the 25 cent price range. It must feel good to have purged and earned so much.
A very successful event, I must say!
Garage sales are SO MUCH work! I'm not really sure which is the best part, the money you made or the fact that you got rid of all your junk!
