Garage Sale

Not everything I buy to sell on eBay actually finds a new home. Sometimes, no matter how cool the item - the right bidder just doesn't see it. Other times, when I bring it home I find something wrong with the item -- just not eBay worthy (at least for me)-- or I decide it's too heavy or otherwise difficult to ship.

When I get a whole pile of those things -- as well as assorted flotsam & jetsam from the family mucking up the works, I just have to purge with a garage sale. Strangely enough, this usually coincides with the week before a vacation when an extra couple of hundred bucks are never unwelcome.

That time is now. If I can get my packages out quickly I'll get sorting and pricing and see if I can pull something together for tomorrow. I like to go 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and take the leftovers directly to Goodwill (where I have to remember not to repurchase the items the next week). Off to work.
