It looks like the yard sale is a go for tomorrow. The weatherman keeps switching up the forecast, but right now it looks like the morning, at least, may be rain-free, so I'm going to give it a shot.
I have got a shed FULL of crap to sell; I've spent hours and hours sorting through my stuff. All that photography that I framed and matted (and tried and failed to sell at craft shows)? It's going. The Breyer's horse models that I collected as a kid back in the seventies? Three bucks a pop. Boxes and boxes of books? See ya!
If I make enough for a good used lawnmower, I'll be thrilled.
Wish me luck! And if you find yourself in the beautiful Southern Tier of upstate New York tomorrow, feel free to stop by - it's gonna be bargain city!

About Me
- rockygrace
- I was born in 1962; you do the math. (See also: I'm too lazy to remember to update this thing regularly.) I bought my first house in the summer of 2009; I share it with four cats and with the memories of The Runt and Little Girl, who both passed away in 2011. Rocky, the cat for whom this blog was named, passed away in 2008; I miss them all. I wish I lived somewhere where the winters weren't eight months long; other than that, life is good.

How many of the Breyer horses do you have? You might be money ahead selling them in a couple of large lots on eBay. The old ones in good condition sell briskly, but for me, they wouldn't be worth farting around with the boxing up and mailing unless I was getting rid of a number of them at a whack.
Here's an example of the type of lot I'm talking about.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Breyer-Mesteno-Mustang-set-Classics-lot_W0QQitemZ300321062276QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item45ec87bd84&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1205%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
You know, I nosed around ebay - I've got about twenty-five of them, but they all were "well-loved" and are in far from mint condition.
I think I've got a couple that may be worth something, but the rest are probably just usable as toys, so I figured three bucks each would even it out.
Of course, if none of them sell tomorrow, I'll be looking at ebay again!
Confession: I kept my favorite two. I couldn't part with all of them.
Are you getting rid of your "pity" purchases from thrift stores? Like the sad-cat purse?
Oh, no, kitkat, I could never get rid of the sad-cat purse!
