Ben by Daniel Shelton for April 27, 2024

Stocking up for next falls attic, basement and garage clean out

One person’s junk is another’s gold? Why would anyone just buy stuff they’ll never use?

Went in the morning across the street and stuff was expensive. The lady said she would get her prices as she knew what she was doing!! I laffed inside as my brother is an avid garage saler. 2PM, I went back and very little sold, got what I wanted for a nice price!! I did not do an “I told you so!” either as that would have been mean. No one is going to buy your junk for full price, take my word!

She saved him from having to box it up and take it to the thrift store.

Liv’s strategy works at Hamfests, too.

and then she has to have a garage sale to get rid of the 99% no good to her

Poor Ben. Didn’t he drag some identical stuff to the dump last year?

Everyone needs an exercise bike to hang their dirty clothes on!?

Well, at least she can see what she’s buying — all the leftovers haven’t been boxed up yet. Recently, in a book store that had a section of used books (where I found a few things I did want), I came across some “mystery boxes.” They were $10 each, but sealed up, and you had no idea what you were buying. Pass.
