I had all of my cloths for $.50 each at the yard sale.  I sold about $10 worth.  I had jeans, shorts, leather skirts, etc.  Only thing that sold were the shorts and a few shirts.

I pulled out all the shorts and took a full truck load of cloths in boxes/totes to Goodwill.  Just tired of them.

Gratz Cobia on the 500.  Now to hit 1000 and up.  Don't think any of us will catch MovieMan...unless we start posting lots of nonsense and spam threads

I purchased 3 units and my daughter 2 in the month of June.  So I was a very inventory rich person when I added all of the units to our yard sales picking.  So I decided on monday I'd try and sell this weekend as most people in our area were getting paid friday the 29th.  However, like many others we saw record temps friday with forcast of even hotter temps Saturday.  So I debated about going to the flea or not.  Instead, I took a page out of our regular posters here.  My friend has a thrift store that I've helped out at, sold a few things to/thru, etc.  I asked them if they would mind me setting up Saturday as a yard sale in the corner of the parking area.  She said sure - so I gave them $15 and wrote up a contract to cover them in case the tax man came around.  Wanted to make it clear there was a distenction between the store / my stuff.  Figure if there was no customers or just very slow I could duck into the store to cool off.  No AC really but they have a portable unit that works great.  As it turns out I and the store were very busy.  I have many items the store didn't and even brought in people who had not stopped at the store before.  My only advertisement was a CL post at 8 or so friday night.  After expenses I made $390, daughter $51, and then another $40 in shared sales w/ the store (my items they sell and we split 50/50).  So it was a great if extremely hot day.

If they go for it again I may just pick one weekend a month and sell at the thrift of Saturday and flea on Sunday.  I made a bunch more at the thrift.  Don't know if it was just the certain items I had or what.  I do know some of it was due to less competetion.  Even sold many items that had not sold at the flea.

I've noticed not as many new registrations/newbie style post.  I know I've slowed down some just due to R/L work and the auction stuff.  Can surf the forums like I use to be able to at work as much now

We will see what July brings.

Sounds like a great week for all to end June with.  I myself skipped the auctions friday as I had already purchased 2 units in 10 days and daughter had gotten 2.  So we were on inventory overload and low funds.

Wish we had an auction like MovieMan - electronics can sometimes be very easy and cheap to fix.
Very nice buy PureVendue - that would never go here.  Too many guys love furniture and have "other" people to clean the units out.  So they are not scared away by weight, quantity, etc.

I'm with you rockin on the temp.  Is quarter till 8pm here and still temp is at 104, heat index is like 110 or higher.  Have another 3 days of 100+ temps then we will just be in the high 90s.  Was surprised I did so well today in sells with the heat.

As for crowds - they are mid-size to more normal.  We expected this come July in my area.  Most people don't want to be out in the heat and stuff.  Still will see a few newbies I'm sure baking their kids butts in strollers.

Ah - that makes more sense.  I had read it as $5 for the lot.

Dang it - how did I miss this post.  Sorry Movieman I got busy w/ RL and didn't check for old post.

You have someone a super deal.  You had about $15 worth of dimes in G-4 condition.  Silver value about $2 per dime.  I'd of bought those for the $5.  Oh well - teach me to check forums more often.
