WOW My Yard Sale!
I had a yard sale today (after crossing my fingers all night that Hannah would be done by this morning). I only advertised on Craigslist and didn't put up any signs except at my house. I had no furniture to sell. But did put up a lot of stockpiled HBA.
AND I MADE $183.35!!!!!
I cannot believe it! All but a shoebox full of HBA sold. So I will show DH the shoebox and you bet yer butt he'll never limit my deals again!

Holy Cow!! What a sale! What kind of HBA did you sell and do you mind how much you asked for them? Thanks!

The HBA did really well! I was also surprised. LOL Now DH is encouraging me to but it! We'll stock up for next year.
It was so nice to see so much go. I had so much STUFF! I priced it all so cheaply too.
When it was over, I packed up 2 totes to keep for next year's yard sale (I do one a year) and Freecycled the rest.
