Junk In Your Trunk rummage sale
Friday was spent loading up two trucks with random things I never use anymore so I can attend this sale. I will be in the Juanita Beach parking lot with a dozen or so other people from the area, selling possessions and trying not to argue with people about the prices I've set.
I really hate haggling because a lot of the time people are not very friendly about it. I sold an ergo chair many years ago at a rummage sale for $8. I originally priced it at $15, but the guy gave me a sob story. Once the money exchanged hands, his demeanor changed and he celebrated for pulling the wool over my eyes. Later in the day an old woman in a houndstooth suit argued with me over a 25 cent 3x5 picture frame. She only wanted to pay a dime. I told her it was a quarter. We went back and forth over it until I lost patience and said "you know what -- just take it." She seemed disappointed, but hey, she won, right?
Anyway, I will have Ken with me and he will be handling the hagglers. I think I've priced everything reasonably and will get rid of most of it. The rest will go to charity because I really don't feel like hauling it back and storing it again.
Come on by. We'll be there from 7 a.m. until about 3 p.m. Bring McDonald's orange drink. And ones -- lots of ones and fives.
