It Never Fails
Want to get rid of stuff in a hurray? Have a yard sale.
Things will disappear faster than you can keep track of what you have. For
every year that I have had a yard sale, items have walked off and out of the
yard and never paid for. Wonder if I have the word sucker written on my forehead or something. It's not like if will break me, it's the audacity of some people who can't be honest at a nickel and dime yard sale.
Like, maybe they are poor and they can't afford a few cents?
Or maybe they are just naturally light fingered? I really don't know. I have
just finished sorting and repacking the items from my yard sale and found that
a small box of greeting cards had disappeared and I know I did not sell them. These
greeting cards ranged from the 1800's to early 1900. I have the pictures of
those cards as I had scanned them for some reason on my computer. I certainly
hope that person has a guilt complex every time they sell at least one of them,
especially on line, I will be watching for them.
