That is the question.
I'm trying to decide. Do I have another yard sale this fall? Like after/around Labor Day?
I'm going to start selling what I can of Jacob's now on a popular online auction site (I don't feel like linking today). You know, the name brand stuff that brings in some coin. And I did do well with the shoes I sold - $5.50 plus $4.95 to ship. Then I question - do I sell them singly, or in a lot? (Not the shoes, the clothes)
Then I have all this...stuff. Stuff that didn't sell from my last sale. A lot of winter stuff - like Jacob's winter coat and snowpants from last year, and his boots, and Christmas stuff. Stuff that I've decided I don't want since my last sale. And Jacob's birthday is coming and then Christmas and the next thing you know, I'm over loaded with stuff again. Speaking of - it's time to sort those toys once more! I might as well get rid of anything that isn't a firetruck or a train!
And the books! I have a ton of BOOKS!
I guess I'm hawing over this as I know I should have another sale, yet I don't think I have enough stuff to have a sale by myself. I'm scared to have another sale because I already did have a sale this year. But if I do have another sale this year, and someone joins in with me, then I need help to have the sale because my math skills SUCK and I can't add up prices and separate someone else's money from my own and then I make people wait and I feel bad because they're waiting and I feel dumb!
Got all that?
I'm having another yard sale sometime in Sept. I'll be doing it with my sister-in-law. I hate doing the money to, but it always seems to end up my job.Most of my stuff is already to be put out,and all of it is priced. Their so much work, and what happens if you don't do very good, all that for nothing. I never know what to price things. I guess it doesnt really matter much, cause if you want to get rid of it then you will come down on the price anyway. Good Luck with your sale if you have one.
ReplyDeleteOhhh...books. Hmmm, we may need to meet soon! We started a reading incentive program for the kids at work, and they have read most of the books! I try to buy some to keep ahead, but they have too much free time to read! I may be able to take some off your hands! What kind of books are we talking about? My kids pretty much read anything but self-help (ha, that's funny to read.)
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't help at all with your question on whether or not to have another sale but in regards to having one with someone and splitting up the money ect: when my mom used to have garage sales when we were kids she always had them with at least one (usually more) other friend. They would label their tags either with their initials or with a certain color sticker and when then sold the item they collected the money, took the tag off and put it on a piece of paper and then setteled up at the end of the day. It made the whole check-out while shopping thing much easier.
