Not sure I agree with you, I used to drive over to have lunch when DH worked near you and found some great sales off md 152. My SIL moved a few years back from Abingdon and couldn't believe how great the sales were over here on Friday. She said the same thing about rarely seeing them before - now we have a standing Friday morning date. You just need to come a little bit west (hereford, fallston, sparks, hampstead, westminster) and join us sometime - as long as you don't need the same size gymbo stuff that is!
Hey don't I recognize
you from another BB thread?
When I posted I guess I was thinking mostly about Bel Air and a little bit of Abingdon and Forest Hill. There are really next to no Friday yard sales. Saturday is a HUGE yard sale day for those areas. And most of them are community wide.
Ocassionally, I'll see one here or there. I really don't go over to Fallston much since they don't really want retail development over that way. Nothing to really go for. Hereford is pretty close to, if not, an hour's drive for me.
I know my mom and dad stop at TONS of Friday yard sales up past the MD/PA line on their way to Lancaster. I think
that the more rural areas do the Friday ones to catch more traffic. People here in Bel Air that have done Friday yard sales did not do well and basically did not think it was worth the effort. I did once get up early on a Friday to go to yard sale once. It was advertised as all Americal girl stuff. I didn't do too bad, but you had to watch 'cause a lot of things were broken, ripped, missing pieces, etc. Which is okay, but her prices weren't cheap. So I was checking things carefully. The yard sales w/ AG stuff is my favorite. I've managed to catch 5 or 6 now and have gotten some great deals.
We wouldn't be competing for gymbo stuff. My DDs are too big now
. As a matter of fact, I have tons that I need to start selling off. Mine are older lines though. I've had a hard time parting w/ their stuff. and most of it has been in storage containers in the finished basement. Hopefully, it will still be in good shape. I remember when I packed it up, some stuff still had the store tags on it.
Right after Gymboree, I got into Hartstrings. boy you can really dump some serious $$$ into that stuff. I have tons of that too to get rid of. but I'm not going to yard sale those things. Sorry, not selling off $60 sweaters for $1 or $2.
whereabouts are you if you don't mind me asking? If you don't want to post, you can send a PM. but I wouldn't be offended if you'd rather not say. I understand. have a great day.
