One year after the sale was over, I was starting to pack up what didn't sell, some guy comes along, offered me a price for everything I had left....problem solved. lol
Our Neighborhood Association sponsors two every year, one in the Spring and one in the Fall. They take care of all advertising, etc. All I have to do is get things priced and ready to go. It's a lot of work, and what doesn't sell is going to the Goodwill. Mine is June 10.
I've only participated in two before and it was quite profitable. I don't think this time around I have any big money items, just a lot of little stuff.
Yes, so I don't open the garage door until 8 a.m. I've had people stop in the night before while we were setting up and buying some things. I took their money, it was hard to tell them to get out of my garage. lol
I should do that. But no.........my stupid ass is packing it all. The idea, to unpack it and sell what i dont want or need.
I am wishing myself luck with that:]
That's so sad. When we moved before I got rid of a lot of things that I would have kept if I had stayed put. But now I'm trying to get rid of some really good things that I just don't use anymore or have no place for them.
Most of my friends have been married for quite a while, in fact I only had one sister that was divorced and she has never remarried....kinda like your situation. He left with no apparent reason, but they had three sons....she never got over it....but he is no longer on this planet, and I can't say I'm sorry either, he treated her like dirt.
We can't know what others are thinking, that's the sad part. But it's best not to dwell on it if possible, I know that easy for me to say. But it's in your best interest.
My husband and I seperated for many years. At the time I thought it was growing pains,on his part. We found our way back to each other after a period of years. We now have been married for forty two years. Give your wife time to see what she needs to see. After twenty years you guys had together, she might make her way back. I'm hoping for the best for you two😊
I don't think that they're around here... but I just remembered the local town does official have a weekend for it. But I don't live in town, and it's normally junk or kid or women stuff. I haven't seen much adult guy stuff ever looking at those.

Yep, wish that would happen all the time.

Good luck.!

So many people out looking for bargains, and no matter what price you put on things, they try to talk you down. lol
We have them here to we call them swap meet Louie's. That's why a lot of people state in their ads no early birds.
That's a cute name. I wouldn't mind the early birds if I'm ready for them. So I don't open the door until I'm ready.

I know, it's a lot of work, and then if things don't sell, it's off to the Goodwill Store. lol
No, June is when I'm having mine.
I'll bet you have a lot of good junk. Good luck. lol

Awww, sounds like you still care a lot about your ex.
Is there any chance of a reconciliation?
People have strange reasons for leaving a marriage, and it's hard when there's no known or logical reason. And very painful.
I hope someday you can find someone to love again. If not, be happy anyway.
Most people do have that expectation when they marry, and it's sad when one decides to call it quits. It happens way too often anymore.
20 years is a long time to give up on. I have no idea why someone would leave with no apparent reason. But it happens a lot anymore.

You have a great attitude....keep keeping on.

your junk probably better than my junk. When I have my yard sale a lot is going to be a dime or free.Then leave it in the lawn for thieves to take.
I have a lot of good stuff.... lots of dishes that I have used lately, lamps, all good stuff.
The good stuff, I'll put a good price on them, if they don't sell, I'll keep or take it to the Goodwill.
Okay, just give me the address and I'll be there looking
0000 No Where
Any Town, USA 01012
See you there.
Wait, I don't have a state... there could be 50 of those addresses. ..or more if you count us territories.
California
Oh, you're a cali girl ;p
Darn you, you found me out. lol
I don't believe that there is any official yard sales here other than by churches and the auction houses.
Most around here aren't official, we see them everywhere usually on Saturday.
I don't think that they're around here... but I just remembered the local town does official have a weekend for it. But I don't live in town, and it's normally junk or kid or women stuff. I haven't seen much adult guy stuff ever looking at those.
Oh I forgot you're a big city guy. lol
I'm big in certain areas, but I don't know about the city part.
I grew up in a big city suburbs... but I think that I'm barely a bit in the country now. I got a cow pasture as one of my neighbors
How nice, I'll bet that's pretty smelly about now. lol
Nope, usually we don't smell anything. .. of course we're both up wind and up valley from them, but no normally they're not smelly for some reason.
Also it's a small cow group... not a huge herd or anything.
It could have been worse, like maybe a pig farm. lol
Nah the worse part is they'll... loud moo (scream moo or something) at night and it's like shut up already
