Our garage sale!
On Saturday, we went down to San Diego to do a garage sale at Cyndi's mom's house. If you advertise in the paper down there, you are guaranteed to get a big crowd coming up from Mexico looking for bargains.
We thought we were going to have to show the neighbors a little something something in the morning. Cyndi's mom lives at the end of a long cul-de-sac that curves around. Some of the neighbors at the top of the street found out that we had advertised our sale and put up signs, so they decided to pull all their stuff out in the driveway. That way everyone would just think that was the sale being advertised and not work their way down the street. We quickly made up a whole new set of signs and put them up on our cars one house down from the other garage sale and managed to draw most of the people down our way.
We ended up making about $160 and cleared out a bunch of junk. It rained on us most of the morning, but that didn't stop people from coming out. I'm guessing that since it was a change from all the extreme heat that people didn't really care if they got wet or not.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our corporate sponsor, Miraclebeam, for providing boxes of light up sports gadgets, pins, and glowing cubes for us to sell. Know that your donation was much appreciated, and that many of your fine products will continue on supporting the fine people who run the Tijuana swap meets.
