Scenes from this weekend's yard sale

[PamfromTx]

One woman didn't have enough money to buy what she wanted and asked if I'd take a check. I refused. She reiterated that it was a good check. I suggested that she go over to the convenience store and use the ATM. She just laughed and said she had to go to a bank in Glens Falls (which is roughly 30 miles one way) to get money. I thought I was the only Luddite left in the world.

Sounds so sneaky, Deb.

 

[Kaila]

It sounds odd to me too, Deb. I wouldn't take the check, either.

Why go to yard sales without taking any money at all? If a person likes yard sales, wouldn't they plan to have a even a small personal collection for that purpose, so they could enjoy going?

And who would plan to buy things at yard sales, instead of just look, if they didn't?

 

[debodun]

Maybe she didn't think she'd find anything that expensive. I'm not selling an original signed watercolor for $2.

 

[Jules]

Wishing for great weather for you this weekend.

Love this one!

 

[debodun]

Ha! That cartoon reminds me of a man that stopped a few years ago when I had a sale. He looked around, then handed me his business card and said, "When you get done fooling around, call me." I looked at the card which said he was a junk removal business.

I'm not doing a sale this week. Too many, too close together, and people won't stop figuring they've already seen what I have. Also the weather is overcast and blustery. I'd just get set up and it woudl start raining like it usually does.

When will you totally move to your new home?

 

[debodun]

I wish I knew. I started on the kitchen Thursday. That's the last major room.

How exciting to be seeing daylight at the end of the tunnel!

I just sold my beloved date palm tree. I started it from a pit 25 years ago. Just too large to take to my other house - it's about 7 feet tall. I just hope the new owner takes good care of it.

 

[Pepper]

Wow, from a pit? Now that's special! How much did you get, if I may ask?

 

[SmoothSeas]

kinda sad, actually.

when I relocated from Florida, I had to rehome my staghorn fern; it never would've been happy in this climate. she was way too huge to have been a house plant.

I know she has a good new home and is lovingly cared for, but I still miss that plant...

I had a beautiful staghorn also and left it for the new owner who asked me to leave it for her. I still miss mine too.

 

[Wren]

You don't. I would have left your sale with a purchase for sure.

Me too, I collect green glassware and a couple of items caught my eye, pity you’re so far away Deb !

$30

Deb, from the pictures you posted some time ago, toss everything. No kitchen needs that much stuff. This is what a kitchen should look like:

$30

What's (more) important to me, with a plant I've started and then tended for such a long time, that I cannot keep,
is that you found someone who wants it and will take care of it.
That they would pay for it, shows they value it.
