NO EARLY BIRDS?

I went to the gym....I came home and a man was carting away our canoes and my picnic tables....Huh???? ::snort:: I'm sure glad Mike was home this a.m. this would have seriously freaked out our children....at this point it only mildly freaked them out. ::snort::

Our goal was "over $200" for our garage sale....we've doubled that and aren't open yet!

Back to garage sale prep. Sale starts TOMORROW at 8:30......or hey today at 7:30 a.m. ::snort::

Man, I am gonna be there in the morning, but canoes was one of the things I was excited about looking at. Oh well, glad ya'll sold em.

Someone just showed up an entire day early??? Wow, guess he really wanted canoes. He got lucky that someone was even home.

I'm sorry, Becky. That man was EARLY and Mike didn't know I'd said, "No, early birds!"

I could have sold 3 swing sets today, 4 trampolines and numerous canoes.

Next time I do ONE day ad.

Renee - there have been people popping in and out ALL day.....

Renee said...

Oh my!!!!
Note to self - if I ever need to have a yard sale only advertise the day of the sale

YES, Renee...and don't even bother saying "no early birds" it only makes it hard to know what to do when they show up early and wave cash in your face. I was apologizing all day to those who came for things that already sold.

We have those kinds of people that show up here as well.. the few times I have had garage sales over the years it has made me so mad that I've not sold a single thing to them no matter how much they offered me.. it's so irritating!
