Yard sales!!  

I bought a box of mismash kitchen junk for a buck once at an auction sale, and found about a dozen antique plates in the middle of it. Sadly, I made the mistake of showing my neighbours the finds, and a few weeks later, someone broke into my house and stole them, and my silver.

We don't have yard sales here in my country but we have recycling sites. These are where we can advertise to give away all the stuff we have lying around our houses. As there are quite a lot of people who would like to get a few euros for their unwanted goods, my wife and daughter have set up a site where we can sell or swap them. At the moment we are going through our house to see what we can get rid of and we have quite a lot of dvds, porcelain dolls, ornaments and bric-a-brac ready to list on the site.

We used to have yard sales here in the area I live in, in Indiana. We have only lived here for 9 years now. We never did any good with yard sales at our home. We live right off of the highway and right off odthe main road. We are located in a very good spot, but no one ever came to our yard sale. We had many nice things also. We took our stuff up to my moms house about 5 miles from here and she lives back a country road off of the main road. We sold things like they were going out of style. I don't understand why we didn't make such good sales here. Alot of people have yard sales in this area but no one seemed to want to come to ours and we had nice things and everything was priced to sell. We ended up giving it all to the Goodwill. I really haven't found anything good at a yard sale lately. I mainly look for nice clothing.

bet you wished you hung on to the dolls now because some of them are now quite valuable. However, i do know what you mean and i enjoy the sales just as much as anyone else. In many ways i think E.Bay represents the cyber equivalent
