Garage/Yard Sale Season is Upon Us!
For those of us in the more northern latitudes, the joyous season of the garage and yard sale is now well under way. I’ve spent a couple of Saturday mornings in the past month out on the prowl and I’ve managed to score a couple of cool finds thus far.
This past weekend, in the village where I live, we held our annual ‘Trash & Treasure Sale‘. Put on by our local public art gallery and held along the lakeside boardwalk, it’s a chance for vendors and buyers alike to participate in some mass frugality. A nasty weather forecast (that didn’t come true) kept the number of vendors down from previous years, but there was still a good 40 or so booths going with pretty much the rest of the town’s folk wandering around perusing the wares.
My lovely wife and I are going to be spending this coming weekend on the other side of the tables for a change as we participate as vendors in a group yard sale with some friends of ours. We’re about to put our house on the market and a pre-sale purge of our belongings has left us with a sizable amount of stuff to offload.
I have to say that I really prefer the group approach to yard sales, both as a buyer and a seller.
There’s a weblog that I’ve been following for awhile that’s been a lot of help in terms of getting ready for our own sale entitled the Garage Sale Professional (garagesalepro.webgoonies.com). It’s a great resource to take a look through if you’re planning on having a sale of your own soon.
