What a day.........
Up early. A truck and trailer of "stuff" to a local swap meet site. Sit
there all day, dealing with the clueless, the nice people, Joe Average. Load up, and come home 13 hours later. I'm whooped. But, $1,097 later, I guess it was worth it to blow out some garage and shop space. Crap that I would have thrown away was just exactly what someone was looking for. Didn't hit my $100 an hour standard, but close enough. I'm going to give this yard sale storage unit thing a closer look. Go figger. Steve |

Good job! The only thing like that around here are flea markets, full of Chinese venders selling Chinese household junk. All the people cleaning out their garage stopped renting a booth for the weekend. What part of the country are you in? I'm in the South. technomaNge -- Due to anticipated high turnout in 2010's election, the Electorial College has scheduled: Nov. 1, 2010 All Independents vote. Nov. 2, 2010 All Republicans vote.

He buys broke units and resells running units for his sideline income. He took a trailer of parts that didn't sell on eBay. Sold 3K worth and used the $ to buy a one year old sled that wouldn't start that day. Same sled is on sale at the dealer for 7.5K. He'll take 5. karl |
