Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2006I hit the jackpot today (OT)
I rushed out the door at 4:20 for the Post Office (which closes at 4:30), and on the way over I see a Yard Sale sign. So when I got done at the P.O. I went up there, not really expecting to find anything good (too late in the day), but hopeful... Now I almost feel guilty about how much stuff I got for so little money, practically a whole wardrobe of *very* nice clothes, no junk here, this lot would have cost me at least $500 new: -Two sweaters -Seven dresses -Six blouses -One fleece jacket -One sweatshirt -One slacks -One nightshirt Plus some plates and cutlery. Total paid = $19. So what if I can't wear the sweaters and jacket until the weather cools!!??? > I rushed out the door at 4:20 for the Post Office (which closes at > 4:30), and on the way over I see a Yard Sale sign.

The neighbors across the street had so many cars parked outside at their yard sale they were blocking traffic. I couldn't see to pull out of the street. Hope everyone got as many good deals as you did! And yes, the weather will change so you'll get to wear the sweaters eventually. Jill > Must be a Memorial Day thing.

I went to have a look after lunch. The place was packed. On a business street, many stores have side walk sale. I didn't buy anything but it was nice to look around. The weather was nice for a change. Winnie > I rushed out the door at 4:20 for the Post Office (which closes at 4:30), > and on the way over I see a Yard Sale sign. So when I got done at the P.O.

They priced it to move, and it did. I'm sure the people having the sale are glad to free up some space in their house.

I love garage sales some many people don't know what items are worth. I once paid $10 for a box of comics books that turned out to be worth quit a bit more. I told the lady they were worth more her response was if they were worth something her son should have not left them behind. DW went to he habitat for humanity here in Florida and came home with clothes worth hundred of dollars for pennies on the dollar. > I rushed out the door at 4:20 for the Post Office (which closes at 4:30), > and on the way over I see a Yard Sale sign.

What do the masters think of your new wardrobe? Lily & her mama > What do the masters think of your new wardrobe? Ha. They are mostly indifferent to clothing except when they can sleep on it. > I rushed out the door at 4:20 for the Post Office (which closes at 4:30), > and on the way over I see a Yard Sale sign.

Pickings may be slim toward the end of a sale, but if there's something you want, you can often get it for an especially good price. Many sellers lower the price toward the end of the day, just to get rid of things. Joy > Total paid = $19. So what if I can't wear the sweaters and jacket > until the weather cools!!??? You shouldn't feel guilty - they had the sale to get rid of stuff, right? You helped. Boy, did you ever help. ;-) Congrats on your score.
