Successful Day

We had a successful garage sale yesterday. People paid us to cart away our old junk. Garage sales are also a study on human nature. People drove up in Mercedes and BMW's to look through someone else's junk. We had a man come in a Maserati . His car cost about $100,000. He purchased nine white plates that were originally from the dollar store. I sold the nine plates for $3.00. He was so happy to buy them. I had people that wanted an item that was 50 cents and they stood there thinking about it for ten minutes. How much cheaper could I sell a decorative throw pillow for that was originally $20? At the end of the day, one woman could not make the executive decision of whether or not to buy a new corkboard for one dollar. After watching her think about it, for what seemed an eternity, I handed it to her and said it was a gift. She looked shocked. In the end, I had fun and made some money. It was a good day.
