Garage Sale: Round 1


This is really happening.

The fund raising garage sale today brought in garage-sale-pro's with a last minute Craigslist ad pushing designer clothes and bookshelves.

The 8:00 hour proved to be succesful. The regular garage-salers pounced on boutique brand tees, motorcycle helmets and high end denim.

We thought it was a pretty choice selection until a lurking, convalescent Russian declared our yard sale "poor" and proceeded to tell us how we could improve it by adding his goods to the sale, which were just around the corner.

He had a point. Fellow Sierra Bonita resident, Veronica brought down a bedding set and made $20 in approximately 2 minutes.

At the 11 o'clock close of the sale, a couple hundred bones was cool with us, but we could have sold more if we had taken the time to organize a community sale.

Alast let us not forget the power of community!
