    First time advertising at garage sales

    So today I went around to a community garage sale as it comes highly recommended on here. It was a major success! My whole van was packed with electronics. I was super happy and I made a ton of contacts. Got a lead on a whale.... calling first thing Monday, I hope it works out. Here's a pic of the back of the van and that cool cat sitting there is my youngest daughter:

    That is a Chrysler van, it is a rental while our highlander is in the shop and it holds way more than our highlander so I put it to use lol


    Miked- Thanks, she has lost 6 teeth this year alone...... best part is she pulls them herself! She is our tough one.

    My 3 year old son loves going to the scrap yard and looking at the magnet and other "big trucks", every time they through my junk with the magnet he yells "WHOA AWESOME DAD!" lol

    You know I'm still getting calls this year from last years "passing out cards".??? About time to start again. If you do the "yard sale haul-off" when their done with their sale, you'll find nice stuff for your yard sale, donate some to the Non-profits and have some junk to tear down. And the people are happy cause they don't have to pack their crap back up for next time. Win-win,,,
