DD made 417 at garage sale

My SIL had a garage sale and let DD join. DD, 14, took toys, games and books she was done with playing. Her biggest items were a game boy system with lots of games and accessories for $70. A wooden doll house for $25.
We had cleaned out DS closet, I normally put the clothes into those green and white cloth donation boxes but DD asked if she could sell them, I said sure. We also did the same for her closet. She sold clothes .25 cents and up. Most expensive was $5.00 winter coats.
We took in those chairs little kids can sit in that are like lazy boys. Asked for $2 each, as we walked in with them, the other girl at the garage sale wanted them for her pre school class, I said take them for free.
Our neighbor gave DD a box of stuff to sell and a piece of luggage and told her whatever you get you can have for yourself. Made $14 from that stuff. And she sold 38 "baby sitter books" to another teacher for $10.00.

DS sold all his recue hero people, vehicles, barge ship for $50. He was not interested in participating in the garage sale. I just asked him it he was ready to let it go and then I offered it up at work for sale.
For me, yippee less stuff in the house.

Congratulations to your hard-working daughter! That's some good cash!

Wow, way to go!

I had a garage sale this weekend too and it was a bust. I barely made $50. Didn't have any big items though.

I live in a BAD area for garage sales. Think last time we made maybe $20. I could so use a garage sale (moving and have my mom's estate) but it is just not worth it out here. Too far away from "town".

My DD made $30 at her sale this past weekend. I know that it does not seem like a lot until you think that she loaded everything into an Accord. Oh yeah she only decided to join her friend the night before so most of the stuff she sold I had tried selling previously. I was glad to get the stuff out of the house.

We are having a yard sale this Friday. I told DH that any money we make will go towards school clothes for DS.



I hope we sell a lot. Anything that does not sell will either be taken to the local auction house or donated. We have to get rid of it before the rainy season hits, as it is being stored outside in a storage shed.
