Yard Sale Professionals!

That's right people! Between the three of us ladies...we brought in about $1000 profit off of our JUNK. Oh yeah!

Ok...so not all of it was junk. My mom sold a lot of her scrapbooking stuff that she still had left over from her store, a desk, books, and movies. She ended up going home with about $350 off of it. Not too shabby!

Montay sold all of her little boy clothes, toys, a vacuum, some baby things, and other miscellaneous items and went home with about $150! She was a wheelin' and dealin' kind of garage sale lady. She is a pro in my book. :0) I was truly impressed with her wicked awesome skills.

As for me....I sold a broken 46" tv, a Playstation 2 with 12 games, 10 year old ginormous stereo speakers, an HD DVD player with two movies, an old Playstation, a vacuum, a baby stroller, a pack and play, a high chair, a queen mattress set, a full mattress set, books, clothes, blankets, bedding sets, movies, scrapbook stuff, and other miscellaneous odds and ends. My hubby sold his old set of golf clubs for $75 to our next door neighbor as well. He's saving that for a new driver though, so it doesn't get to "count" in our grand total. :0) I ended up making about $500! Oh yeah!

The items that didn't sell we donated to the thrift store. Everything was hauled off. It was so wonderful and liberating! No more junk! Hallelujah! Even better...after we sweep out the garage and scrub it down, I will be able to park INSIDE of it. Crazy! :0) I can't wait!

I did end up severely sunburned. And all three of us ladies were exhausted after two days of sitting out in the sweltering heat. The heat just sucks the life out you....but it was all worth it! Today I am off to go buy the trampoline we promised the kids we'd buy if we made enough money to cover the costs. They are so thrilled!

Have a happy day!

Wild and Crazy Gals!

What happens when you put together me, my mom, and Montay with a multi-family yard sale?

Apparently sunburn and headaches mixed with a lot 'o cash in Ashlee's pocket! :0)

I will post some pictures and a final tally tomorrow after we finish up the madness that is my weekend. But, basically, it was time to empty my garage so I could finally park in it. I know...crazy. Huh? So, I told my mom I was doing it and she wanted to join in. And then Montay found out and said she had some stuff to sell too. So I figured, what the heck....the more the merrier right?

It was in the 90s today...and me and my little V neck tshirt and cut off shorts that showed off my virgin white skin is making for an uncomfortable evening. I am planning on going straight to bed after ingesting a Tylenol PM. We start again at 8:00 am! People really do this! I had people here at 7:10 am this morning! Are they crazy? For my stuff? It's paying off so far...I've made more than I had ever anticipated. And it has been fun chatting with my mom and Montay as we sweat and stink together in the sun. :0)

Good times I tell ya!
