We only made $91 and that included the sale of a clothes dryer. We weren't very good at selling our stuff, but we had a nice day. The highlight of the day for me was when this strange guy with long greasy hair came and bought a pack of Star Wars prints of painted scenes. They were water damaged and while cleaning out boxes Dan threw them away. I told them someone would buy them. He scoffed at me and yet... $1! That people bought, other useful attractive items, not so much. It was the "L Street" garage sale day so the neighborhood was bustling with sales, but not really with traffic. There was a sale down the street that Michael kept his eye on and would compare business. They had the unfortunate advantage of giving away animals from a shelter and all their proceeds went to the shelter. They got more business. They also had this awesome gigantic black and white wall hanging of a guy that was a cross between Michael Bolton and Tiny Tim clutching a half naked girl. It was far more frightening than romantic. We don't know if it sold. I am sad I did not take a photo of it. If only I could pluck the image from my brain a) to share here and 2) to get rid of it so it doesn't haunt me later.
We ended the day with mojitos and closed up shot at about 3pm. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon if not for all the hauling of crap.
