    Default having yard sale- wish me luck!

    I was going through the kids stuff on Friday and realised i had enough stuff to have a yard sale! So wish me luck I am doing it tomorrow. I want to get rid of lots so i can declutter and have more room in this house. I have kids clothes, a batman powerwheels car, baby swing, car seat, walker, kick and play baby gym, an ottoman set and on and on. I hope i sell at least some of this stuff. Wish me luck! I am going to price low, so i hope it sells!

    good luck. We hit a few garage sales today. I was keeping an eye out for a stroller for the baby. I figured if I found one great, if not no biggie.
    I spot one and we stop. I hop out and saw some lady was looking at it and walked away and started looking at other stuff. I looked around a bit and then asked the owner how much the stroller was. She tells me the price and I said...I'll take it. Suddenly, weirdo lady screams I'M BUYING IT! I thought omg she'll kill me for it. LOL I just walked away. I wish you could have heard this woman's shrieking yell. It was comical. I was bummed I didn't get the stroller, but I'll never forget this woman yelling like a madwoman.

    ok now i have totally hijacked your thread. Sorry about that.

    Hope you do great on your sale.
