Yes, it is true. I LOVE garage selling! It is the spontaneous buying, leaving with garbage bags stuffed full, and talking down the already low prices to get incredible deals that has won me over. Just like Mike Wolfe, I get a thrill to find a treasure in a pile of someone else's junk. I have a special talent for "grouping" items for big savings. And there is nothing like feeling like a big spender for only pennies on the dollar.
We live in a great area for garage selling. I could fill 5 houses with my amazing finds that I wish I had room for in my little apartment, but don't. That is often my unfortunate problem. Sometimes I find something that I know I will someday love, someday when I have more rooms to fill, or a yard, and sometimes, though I have no place or use for it now, I buy it anyway, hiding it away until... one day in the future.
My other problem is that, regrettably, my pennies on the dollar turn into many pennies and dollars because there are so many good finds it is hard to stop. So even though I am just ACTING like a big spender in all actual-ality I become a BIG SPENDER (Aaah!). I've only been out two Saturdays since the opening of the "garage selling season" and already I've decided (with some motivation) that I am going to have to limit myself and force myself to stick to a budget! (ugh)
I caught on to a bright idea and I think I have my solution...
Go Pro garage selling! Yes, best job ever... Maybe I'd call myself a Garage Selling Specialist. Other people paying me to fill and decorate their houses with amazing deals. My clients would pay for the items and me for my time. Awesome... maybe I'll run with it. :-)
