Driveway Sale

A few weeks ago Aimee and I partnered with a couple of the neighbors to put on a garage sale.

We had been meaning for some time to get rid of a bunch of stuff that we didn't need or never used. We talked to the lady across the street (whose house is in the picture above, behind Aimee) and the people next door to us and we collaborated on a multi-driveway sale.

Aimee made some signs and we put a note on Nextdoor about the sale to take place on a Saturday morning at 8am. When I opened the garage door at 6:45 to start putting everything out there was already a guy waiting for us who wanted to buy some of our stuff.

Before long a whole bunch of other people showed up and by 8am we had already sold about half of the items! People continued to arrive through the morning and continued to keep buying stuff. I was surprised that anybody wanted some of these things. Amazing what people will buy. It certainly made for a lot less stuff to take down to Goodwill later than I anticipated.

Each of us got rid of a bunch of stuff and we know that if we ever do it again we'll have to be ready to go before 7am!
