Well we made $42

And nobody even bought the big TV? *sigh* Then I took all the old books and CDs and DVDs to Half-Price Books, where I sold them and used the money to buy new (used) books to take home.

Most of the toys and stuff was dropped off at the St. Vincent De Paul Society store as a donation.  I don't think I'll be quitting my day job just yet but it's nice to have all that clutter gone and a couple extra bucks.

Plus for about two hours Mr F was my helper.  In between customers I'd tickle his head or we'd spin each other around in the street.

I'm not gonna lie to you I was about THIS CLOSE to going and finding a storage locker to bid on.

These two guys came by. Guy 1 had a beard-but-no-moustache, and guy 2 was a big guy with all kinds

of tattoos and a soul patch about 5" long.  So basically the kind of guys I assume are in a cult or something and I'm going to die. (That's how my mom raised me.)

Anyway, they bought a couple of cassettes and DVDs and then were looking at the little ceramic houses Mr Bunches used to get from the Dollar Store. "How much for the ceramics?" Soul Patch asked.

"Two for a quarter," I said.

He didn't buy any but then was telling me how he does this all day: he goes to rummage sales and he buys old storage lockers and he resells the stuff.  "The DVDs are for me," he said. "And I was going to get your Christmas stuff but I decided not to. If you put it on ebay though you could probably get $15 for a pair of houses."

Then he told me how he got an old fan that someone gave him a hundred buck for from one storage locker, and a bunch of stock certificates that were worth like $7000 from another one, and in one he said he found a bunch of old prescription bottles and in each was a piece of gold jewelry wrapped in tissue paper.

I'm starting to take it personally when people slow down, look as they drive by, and then speed up.

This is HIGH QUALITY STUFF. Where else could you get a car luggage carrier AND a tiny ceramic Xmas village all at one stop? Plus this thing that I don't remember buying but here it is in our house:

That is half price right now. So if you're in the area and need a freaky pink rabbit it's only a quarter.
