    My first garage sale at my warehouse

    So through my junk removal business I find a lot of scrap metal, but also I acquire many items that are perfectly good, sellable items. Well after being back in Michigan for just a couple of weeks I am ready to have my first garage sale, it will be Saturday from 9 am til 2 pm. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Well good thing you guys DIDN'T come! Totally rained out. Sold two items for a buck each and then the sky opened up.

    I'll do it again sometime soon.

    Shoot 9am? Here by that time you could go to just about any garage sale with a $10 bill and buy them out just so they don't have to pack it all back up and/or haul it away themselves.

    Still better then a kick in the junk. Better luck next time. I never have garage sales anymore unless I want it to rain.
