Neighbors are going to have a garage sale on Saturday

[debodun]

A few weeks ago, it was the people across the street. Now I saw this tent suddenly appear in next-door neighbor's yard. When he has a sale, he usually posts it on Craig's list. so I checked to see if his sale was listed and he wasn't just setting up for a backyard barbecue. Yep, he's having one.


Here's part of his ad:

I'll drop-by at 7 am sharp! Have the coffee on, Deb, and you and I will be the first to crash his party! LOL!

Gosh, how I love garage/yard sales!

 

[debodun]

I'd throw some items out in my garage and have a sale except it's too hot for me to do that right now. He has help; I don't. Added to the fact if somebody got sick that stopped, they could claim it was from my stuff. I'm not in that much of a hurry to have a sale. LOL

I have an advertising calendar from 1905. Maybe I'll stroll over there when he isn't busy and see if he'll buy it.

Hmm, grab me a watering can

 

[Buckeye]

Let me know if he has an old post hole digger.

We could make a list ,
for Deb to go over, to look for all the items, we each would like....along with the price ranges we are comfortable with her bickering over, for us.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Okay then, if everyone else is putting their orders in, then I'm going to put my order in, too.

Deb. Let me know if he has an old reel-mower.

I haven't been to a garage sales in years. I love them but just purged my house and don't want to add anything. I'd love to just look but I'm weak and temptation would get the best of me.

Any room in the "weak" camp for me?

 

[Kaila]

I'm actually with Ruth, on this topic.... @Ruth n Jersey

I wouldn't even mind donating some items, for him to try to pass along, and he could keep the money
(OR he could split it with Deb who would deliver my items to him )


Just for me to get rid of some stuff, as long as he agreed, not to return them , if no one takes them.

Any lava lamps?

I went over this morning, but didn't see any of your request items. Also, he wasn't interested in my antique calendar. He's probably more interested in selling than buying at this point. He's not gone to work since the end of March.

Thanks for the smile and laughter, that comment gave me, Deb. I need it, this morning.

Did you see anything that you wanted?

 

[debodun]

Only a coin from Ireland (like the one in the attachment). It was in a box of assorted small items marked $1 each. I though that was a lot for 1 coin.

That doesn't mean he didn't have them. If it's something I'm not looking for, it is invisible to me. I look mostly for knickknacks and trinkets. Although he did have a wicker chair that has seen better days for $175.

 

[Ruthanne]

Oh, just what I need, a wood chipper!

 

[debodun]

My neighbor's day job is a high school science teacher, but on weekends, he's an antique dealer. When things were "normal", he'd load up his van and go to the antique shows in the area if there was one happening on the weekend. Since he hasn't worked in over 2 months and all the antique shows have been cancelled, he probably hurting financially. Hence why he didn't buy my 1905 calendar.

 

[debodun]

They are going to have another yard sale Friday and Saturday. Looks like the circus is in town.

 

[Kaila]

Are you expecting downpours of rain?
Or does he own those, so likes to use them anyway?

 

[hollydolly]

Deb , go back over there and pay the Dollar for the Irish 20 pence... it could be worth £6k

I'll take the wood chipper & the snow blower.

Are they still sunbathing nude? Can you post proof so I can get to the bottom of it?

 

[Sunny]

I have an instruction booklet for running a very early model sewing machine, in Polish! I inherited it from my mother-in-law, who was not Polish either, didn't speak Polish, and had no idea why she owned it. She thought maybe it came along with her sewing machine.

I've tried to sell it, but nobody wants it.

Today 7/30/20 you had an appointment to look at a home. Did you put an offer on it or are you going to stay next door to the circus?

You'll have to look at that thread here:
