Well, what do you know!

Sometime ago I mentioned I have been having yard sales, a lot actually. The truth is it helps financially, and although it isn't easy to let go of some items, it can be a learning experience. The one thing I like is it brings in the neighbors to visit a bit, and you witness a variety of behaviors. I learned that the best yard sale day is Friday. Saturday is also good and usually steady. Sunday is only good if it rained on Friday and Saturday. Weekdays are slow, but not necessarily bad. There are those that will only want those things not for sale, those that want things for nothing (lots of those), those that will drive and look from their car, Those that will ask you how much something is (usually expensive things) count their money out to the price of their item . . . then put it back into their pocket and walk away . . .(What the heck?), and those that pay the price and walk away. However, today I met a different kind of customer, one that I haven't seen before or at least I can remember without using the Aztec Calender . . . I met a good man, he renewed my faith in humanity and made me think maybe times could be getting better. He asked if I had any knives for sale. I had one old knife that had been by father's, I asked for $10 and he gave me $25 instead. Well, what do you know!
