This time I am holding off because we are planning a second sale. I like the write offs too, but the truth is, I could use the cash now, rather than the tax break in April, ya' know? But you are right - to do it well, garage sales are a lot of work.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703479564503074258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-72931611007037345142009-07-27T16:59:17.188-04:002009-07-27T16:59:17.188-04:00Getting Stuff Done - exactly!

As a homeowner I can usually net the same in write off from donating the items (since you only net pennies for items worth several dollars with a garage sale). Good luck with your next one $200 is a great start.Miss Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926161058644761041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-15235270995908798512009-07-27T16:41:48.607-04:002009-07-27T16:41:48.607-04:00So nice to have you back :)

But in terms of getting rid of clutter, feeling like I was part of the community and recycling a load of stuff - it was great. I also helped a load of other people recycle / get rid of their baby clutter for cash too. And a load of expectant mothers got a load of baby equipment that had mostly hardly been used for bargain prices. And my friend made a load of money selling cakes and tea. win win win winHowtoBEaCOOLoldLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761358782754350104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-8917045926193304032009-07-27T15:06:34.880-04:002009-07-27T15:06:34.880-04:00Thanks!

I gave other neighbors later that night a tour. As long as the house is prepared for visitors and I am along with them on the tour, I don't mind. If someone were to just ask out of the blue it might be weird though. It's a odd situation. Personally though, I like learning things about the house.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703479564503074258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-24493845410005603812009-07-27T13:56:11.748-04:002009-07-27T13:56:11.748-04:00Great work!
