This Sunday my high school basketball team held a yard sale as a fundraiser. It was, as these girls like to say, h$#lla fun. First you should know that these San Francisco teenagers are really different from Mill Valley kids - many of them have never been out of California and many of them had never seen a yard sale before. Anyways, we had tons of stuff to sell, but the stuff we thought would sell didn't, and lots of the junkiest stuff did. Weird. We also baked cookies (sold out) and had a car wash at the same time.
Couple of the girls turned out to be really good at haggling and others were great advertisers. All in all a fun day because it was a new experience for many; they never knew how much a bunch of stuff they didn't want anymore could be worth to others.
I brought 8 boxes of books & computer games, golf clubs, softball bats, clothes, a guitar and two reclining chairs complete with ottomans. Try carrying all that in an SUV.
