Garage sale irony and breakthroughs

We did really well in the garage sale this weekend... and I have noticed something in my many years of garage sales and flea markets. The better-dressed people will offer you 25 cents for a $50 leather jacket and then give you a $20 to break for change.

Overall we did well, no major complaints. And I had decided to start parting with my hundreds of thousands of sports cards... *whew* it's tough y'all, if I may type like Paula Deen for a second. Thanks to Ernie for helping me make the breakthrough on the first several thousands of cards.

CurvyGirl is going to get me some new stuff for the office with our proceeds, she freakin' rocks!

I have noticed this about the better-dressed people at garage sales too. In fact, I notice in general that richer people are often the most tight-fisted with their money. Perhaps this is how they got rich?

We are going to have a garage sale when we move next month. Hope it doesn't rain.

That was my leather jacket. Oh well. It was out of style anyway. Suckers! We sold enough to buy a LARGE L shaped desk. My hard workin' man deserves it.

Much love.
