    I'm supposed to do a garage sale this weekend. I started posting shit to a b/s/t site today and have already made $20. I'm kinda want to bail now, but still have SO MUCH STUFF


    I definitely think you can change more on a BsT site than a garage sale. But it can be a pain in the butt to sell that way too IMO

    I'm all about porch pickup! A few times I've bought something and then the person pulls the "where to meet" thing and I'm all I want to be anti-social and just pick it up from your house, I don't want to actually have to coordinate meeting, let alone interact.

    I've just been selling some maternity and baby stuff but I get so annoyed by people who flake on pick up or say they want something then go MIA and then decide they don't actually want it.

    I don't trust people enough for that. How do you get your money?

    @DrillSergeantCat in never selling anything for more than $10 or so. If they steal it so be it.

    Ditto. I see some people list porch pick up for items that are like $50-100 or more and I think that is crazy. I never sell anything where if I didn't get the $$ it would be a big deal. I mean at some point half this stuff will probably go to Goodwill. 

    The most I've ever sold was $17 worth of maternity clothes. Usually my stuff has been more in the $5 range. The most expensive I've bought is $15 a few times I think.

    I was thinking the same thing!

    Hahahahaha...not in my city.  You can guar-on-tee it will get stolen, though not necessarily from the person picking it up.

    I honestly think he is really that desperate to get out of his current job and off the island.  He has been looking for over a year now.    Since we are not actually unhappy here, he feels like his feelings should trump ours.    

    Funny thing it's out of all of our control at this time.  DH's tasting is today.  2 others were last week.   It's up to the club to decide who they want.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
