you really know how to turn threads off topic in a hurry? :rolleyes:


yardsales do suck... it's always full of elderly womens with horrible taste.
 
for the most part, yes.
sometimes, you can find something really valuable for like $5 though.

Nah, I was kinda tired of the Magus one and I just think Selphie is cool. I know she's not from the same game as Sephiroth, but it works. (refering to the status)

True, but when it's the leftover of a leftover of a leftover yard sale, there's nothing good left. :lol: We had one in Feburary then in March then in April. All three of those were to help pay for my senior trip, we just had this one as a last ditch effort to make some money before we gave it all to good will or somthin.
 
Yardsales do suck. THere was one right in front of my house selling a really old computer, and I mean OLD, as it was one of those that came all in one piece, with the bigger disk drive and no mouse.
 
Yardsales are theonly way to get ridof your stuff without feeling bad about throwing it out. I'm due for one soon; lotsa old computer stuff that I'd be happy to part with for a dollar here, and dollar there.

I have two 15" monitors that I'll likely sell for $5 each. A bag of clothes for $2. And some extra kitchen utensils that will go for 50 cents or a dollar. But the old farts around here will probably talk 50 cents down to a quarter, those nitwits!

Never perform a yard sale expecting a profit; do it buy a pizza and cokes, and expect to see weird people.
 
The people accross the street from me have yard sales all the time. I think it's a significant source of income for them.

I had one of those old stereo consoles... heavy wood, flip top, turntable... 1968 Zenith dinosaur. So anyway I put it out in front of the house and those nieghbors took it. A month later it was in their yard sale.

But I had one a couple years ago and actually made about $150. It was more of a moving sale, though, with some decent stuff we just had no room / use for any more.

Man. I had no idea I was a hilbilly. I mean, three cats and a dog and a moving sale two years ago (insert Deliverance banjo here)

Where I live most yard sales are frequented by a bunch of snobby fags looking for kitch and antiques. The hillbillies go to the swap mart . Big difference.
