we had a garage sale today. i was dreading it and it was not an amazing experience, but it also wasn't horrible... i just hate people who want to haggle over already cheap prices. it does my head in. we did well though - a lot of the items went and we have less and less to get rid of ourselves.
we had a lot of things sell on marketplace - and even just from the photographs we had listed advertising the garage sale, which was good too, until i had people grumpy as we were moving things out of the garage as they arrived. oh i came to buy that! well, sorry - it's a garage sale. you could have just as easily messaged me on facebook too mate!
i was amazed more of the tools didn't sell, but we have decided to donate all of the leftovers to the ellenbrook mens shed. i emailed and received the most lovely response from their group. i know steve would be happy knowing they are going to a good cause.
because we haven't long come out of lockdown and masks are still required, we didn't have the best turnout either, but any sales are better than nothing.
the bike went immediately and was collected later that morning.
and right as we had given up and had decided to pack away and give up, a couple turned up in a van and bought all the remaining furniture! admittedly they wanted to pay a lot less than we had it listed for, but considering it was sell it cheap or give it away? it was an easy choice.
it's hilarious as the exact same thing happened at steve and oli's garage sale when they were moving from queensland to here - it was like they were saying "don't worry guys, we've got this!" i honestly couldn't believe it, what a coincidence!
one more thing down - we are almost there!
