This weekend we had a garage sale.  It wasn’t a huge affair but we offloaded a lot of junk to other families who seemed to think they needed them.  We had lots of baby stuff that new grandparents were excited to pick up and I learned some new things about people.  Some people were negotiators and some people were glad to get things at less than store prices.  Some people didn’t speak English.  One gal was kindly garage saling with a woman who was severely handicapped.  She helped me understand the woman and monitored the purchases to make sure that all of her money was spent.

I had one family show up and they low balled me on my PS2 – I didn’t flinch.  They paid for most of what they picked up in quarters.  I would have been unhappy accepting quarters for a PS2 🙂  The sale went well and we got to know a few neighbors as well.

The officially best moment for me was the group of guys stacking a couch & seat on top of a mini van and throwing ropes over the top.  Something about it looked horribly catastrophic.  They drove away and I didn’t find shattered couches near our house so I hope that they got it back to their domicile.
