We are getting ready for the great July 2020 Rummage sale! The last time we had a rummage sale (7 years ago?) we made $65. We are hoping to surpass that number by a lot.
We have spent the last several months purging and trying to sell stuff on Marketplace. Now we are ready to pour our treasures onto the front lawn for everyone to grab up. Dozens upon dozens of totes from Tub City were carried from the basement to the garage in preparation. Unfortunately, we aren't touching much of the rest of the house - which is concerning. But... we have to start somewhere!
Our sales on MarketPlace have blown past the $2000 mark! We have sold over 100 items and I have a lot more to sell. Add my mother's Antique Co-Op sales and we are approaching $2500.
I found out that dumbbells are HOT on Marketplace. I posted some for $1 per pound and they sold in 5 minutes. Before my cancer, I was curling the 50 pounders in 3 sets of 12, but those days are gone. Nevertheless, I had to prove my vitality by putting in a few curls before selling them - I still have it!
The garage is cleaned up. The tables are set up and cleaned. Next we load up the tables with merchandise so we can carry them onto the lawn in the morning. We'll put everything that doesn't fit on these tables outside in the morning (we have many more tables than will all fit in the garage). At 8am I hope to be taking the money hand over fist!
Every dollar gets us a dollar closer to that $12,000 Florida Move budget.
