We had the first day of a three-day garage sale today. We brought in stuff from two other families and tracked who earned what. It was hot and humid, 87 degF with nearly 100% humidity, but we got rid of a good deal of inventory. It will be nice if we can keep it up through Saturday.

I ran the cashbox. There were some moments where I really wanted to tell the customer something like this:

This is the first day of the garage sale. Why must you insist on talking me down, on products I’m selling for two more days and are already marked down 75% or more from list? Does it feed your ego to get me to come down $5 on properly maintained equipment that cost more than $100 originally? Puh-leeze. If you don’t want to pay $25, take a chance, come back Saturday, and we’ll see if $5 would have been worth it for you to get what you want.

BTW, if you’re in the central Ohio area…we still have a treadmill, a 1024×768 computer monitor, and two really nice cribs that need good homes. :)
