Family rummage sale

The family sale of stuff that is no longer wanted is half over. Having sat at the sales table all day the family sales people are ready for a restaurant meal.  It can be surprising how a piece of pottery is offered in Lynn's artists cooperative but not purchased.  Then, it is offered in a neighborhood rummage sale and scooped up. Of course prices are quite a bit lower in the rummage sale.


It can be boring to sit and wait for customers to come by.  There are strategically placed signs at important corners in the neighborhood announcing the sale and the location. When four different households bring items for sale, the amount of unwanted things can be quite large.  Each family's contributions that get sold are tallied separately. I think most people are as glad to get some unwanted things sold as they are to get a little cash. We are all eating out together a half hour from now. Now we can start noting what else should be sold off.
