It's all about size. The bigger the better. It's why we put up skyscrapers, build jumbo jets and super-size our Coke. The yard sale sign for our event this weekend, it had to be huge!
Sign painting is not my strong point, I make a better cheesecake, but this one didn't come out too badly and it paid for itself in one day. We put it out by the road late Sunday afternoon and first thing Monday morning there was a huge guy with a van parked in the driveway. Scott introduced himself, produced a business card and asked if he could look at what we wanted to sell before the sales event. Sure, come on in! He said he dealt in antiques and collectables 'did I have anything?' You betcha! Eight hundred dollars later he was happy and we had a little less stuff to deal with. We also had another guy show up from Philadelphia who talked a big game but ended up spending $50 and took opened bottles of liquor. Please don't ask me what that was all about, I have no idea why. I didn't want to know what they planned to do with Chinese rotgut whiskey that could strip paint off a car.... And please don't ask me why we even had a bottle of this stuff. That is too long a tale.
It's all about the sign. Come join in on the fun Saturday, June 14th, 9am-2pm... All reasonable offers accepted. Everything must go!

Saturday June 14th? I know you are an organized woman Marilyn, but planning a garage sale 10 months in advance is quite something. ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for bigger being better, I think it's more what you do with it than size.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
