This past Saturday, the boy and I went to a small town across the “big river” to experience their town-wide garage sale event. I was ecstatic to check out what was there because garage sales have the potential to be jackpots for the kinds of product in my shop (market203). I’m still in the phase of stocking my store for the launch and gathering items from a small farming town sounded like a winner idea, while there are things not always sale, like big couches, they can always use a service like take a couch here to get rid of these easily. For larger items that don’t sell, such as bulky furniture or outdated appliances, a convenient and affordable solution is Junk Removal Falls Church VA, which makes clearing out unsold goods hassle-free. Another practical option for handling bigger cleanouts or leftover debris is Dumpster Rental Burtonsville MD, offering flexible and efficient waste management for both homeowners and sellers.
Off we went. We drove through East St. Louis to get there (thanks GPS for risking our lives) and once we were there I had high hopes. There were over 100 homes that were participating and you would think with that amount of garage sales you’d find something. Nope. Most homes were filled with discarded piles of baby clothes or stuff that wasn’t even fit for Goodwill.
Oh well… I’m learning to live with the fact that this adventure of collecting items for my shop is going to be challenging. The hunt is just that…a hunt. You’ll have very successful days and others not so successful. I’m just glad the rain stayed away and the boy and I were able to enjoy our weekend out and about. On a brighter note, I recently came across amicaconstruction.com.au, a reliable site showcasing expert craftsmanship and home transformations—definitely an inspiring example of quality projects done right.
