Just laying around in the back yard today.

Sounds like a good day.


Find it funny when we get bored end up getting into stuff that keeps us busy for days. 
Making money is saving money.


The food find was good with you on it just came off the shelf. We have a garden (struggling with this crazy weather) to hot for winter crops and two cold for spring crops. In Florida have to grow fall and spring gardens in the winter, and summer crops in the spring. 

Also raising rabbits, we are not going to starve. 

the teacher & craiglstauction,

Why I look at the ads, but if I do the #'s on what they are selling there is no profit. But to I am not retail (thrift store). Could see a little if we were selling retail but with the Flea and yard sales no profit. And usually it is stuff I already have plenty of. 

But I keep looking.

My tax refund had little impact as to when I wanted to start buying.

It was merely the timing with my partner and our schedules that will lead us to likely make our first buy in March.

I would like to make an honest go at Auctions/Resale.

The idea of working for myself is very appealing.

Good luck but you need to put "WORKING" In all capitols.    This is a lot of work.

craiglst~They are XP.  We've got the lot listed for $200.  we had an offer (texted) of $100 this morning. Countered with $150.  Countered with $125.  Countered with $135....never heard back.  It'll all sell eventually....but dang!  What's $10 bucks among craigslist folks?

Money~I am sooooo not a shopper and my husband is truly grateful!

They are going to see how long you are going to hold out.

I am really a looker not a buyer. on the shopping scene. Unless it is a good deal.  My husband is great-full too. Has to make me buy new clothes.


Also with Movieman there is someone out there to buy something to repair. I would have hesitated on it being broken.  My husband looks at me like nobody will buy that one GMC center cap. Had to replace one one time what a pain and cost. Before ebay time.

Can't complain about that. 

Like I tell my weatherman friend, imagine getting paid BIG MONEY for being WRONG 80% of the time!!

Same here today - weather called for 80-90% rain.  Might have sprinkled for 20 seconds a couple times, but the sun was out by 2pm.   Good luck with your CL sales - seems it's been taking a couple re-lists to draw interest, but when potential buyers contact, they do three and four at a time!!   

In Fl usually if they say rain it rains. Maybe a day late but it will rain. So far they are three days off. Think they are being overly cautious. We had like hurricane force winds about 8 months ago with no warnings. It was a mess.

We have a free online classifieds (started before CL) get more hits off of that than CL. But they review your ads before they post them and if they think you are a business they want post. Want you to pay for the advertising, it is cheap $30 a month. Have not felt the need to pay for advertising, but if the stuff at the thrift does not start moving might have too.  Offered the thrift half if she would advertise no response.

So I will be patient (at least try) and re-list on CL.

 Cheesehead.. bet that is helping that %. 

Sales slow for us, We have jinxed our selves been listing to the weather man    Still no rain had a 50% yesterday 80% today WTH Planning on trying tomorrow and watch it will rain.
