This weekend I had a yard sale with my girlfriend at our house. It went very well and I am happy to say that we made enough $$ to cover parking and "beverages" at the Tigers vs. Cubs game this Thursday at Comerica Park.
It's funny how one person in a relationship wants to sell everything for as much as they can get, even risking the loss of a sale due to not budging on a price.
Day one, my girlfriend was in charge as I did the chores that I needed to at my house. We did pretty good.
Day two, I was in charge. My better half had to do the Father's Day deal with her family so I was flying solo. Not only did I make us some cash, but I also got rid of a TON of stufff that otherwise I would have had to pack up. I made us $$ but I also lessened the workload.
When doing these "sales", don't be stubborn. Let things go for what people are willing to pay. If you don't then you are creating more work for yourself and not making any money. There's no fun in that.
