so i still have a few thing to sell--left them in the yard--with a price on therm--so i've had folks come knock on the door and say--love the couch but i don't have any money-- agh ok
next one -
her -"how much is it"
says right on it--ok i'll bite
me-"$75 obo" -- (or best offer)
her "ok well what's your bottom price"
next one --
them "how much will you take for it"
me- "$75 obo-- make me an offer"
them - "oh i don't want to insult you"
next customer i see pull over and get out is several months pregnant--
she who is pregnant and rubbing her own tummy says --" oh we need this couch it's so nice my daughter is having a baby tomorrrow morning and we can really use this" (to have the baby on? was afraid to go there) she continues ,"but i won't have any money till friday but i have a good job and we're respectable people" -- ugh ok -- btw- the couch is white just to enhance the baby delivery visual
me too -- lol
--was selling a little fuzzy pet bed & the lady asked how much i said $1-- they guy said FIFTY CENTS-- i paused, i said a dollar--he said FIFTY CENTS like this was some kind of high stakes bidding war gonna show off for his sweetie --we went one more go 'round and he coughed up the buck--i guess i don't play that game well--heheheh
but we had the best day--the weather was sweet --we enjoyed the sunshine and sat in the shade and drank iced coffees, ran around trying to find the right cd to go in the right box--lotta fun--
just one day though--was better that way
Quote:
go out there and double your prices and then 'give them a great deal'. Make them an offer they can't refuse.
great minds & all that -- i did -- then i put up a sign and said--1/2 price on this table --the couch price has been slithering southward all weekend--i'm parking on 75 but i'll take 50--hey the day before it rains it's going on the street side of the side walk and i guarantee it won't take 30 minutes for it to disappear-- poof -- if the rain can hold off till half the neighborhood gets a payday i could sell several of 'em -- heheheh
i'm real proud of my neighborhood peeps for respecting that on my lawn it's still mine $75 obo
It sounds like good times K8. I live in a duplex near a pretty busy street. I cant wait for the weather to break and get started. My neighbor always has rummage sales. I put out a few this last year and got a nice little stash of pocket money. I'm downsizing so I hope to get rid of a lot of things including my commercial stove that is giving me a headache.
There's a nice shady tree in front of my house so every weekend that the weather is good I plan on being under that tree,lol.

Haaa haa IKR, the stove can go but not my baby, even if I have to strap it to my back, it's going with me. Did you see the AGA cake in the gallery, now if I could find one of those at a rummage sale!
isn't it beautiful? it's a castle pizza oven--has three big stones (shelves) in it -- i've never hooked it up

OMG that's nice! Why haven't you played with it yet? I'd be pretending that I was an Italian baker tossing up dough.
I have a six burner Garland H- series, I have always wanted to put stones in it. Never seem to find the time to order them.
It's a cake in the gallery that's an antique replica of one of these

i've had several businesses and plans for several other businesses --
my husband got all wound up about me potentially burning the house down if i installed it -- *insert rolling eyes smilie face* so annoying he was so he got me the deluxe--
i love that castle oven-- it's like a bake easy on steroids--such a pretty face!
, you just had to find one that was black and sliver (love anything black with chrome) didn't cha. Yes K8 I think that's one too,lol.
are you familiar with elmira's--they look ancient but they are state of the art inside--seriously droolicious --
black & silver -- they got all kinds of colors--

seriously! we had to replace our home oven/stove deal like 10 years ago or so and i had just been laid off from a brilliant job and i had a $weet 'package' and i debated and debated and debated getting one of those and debated with myself some more--shoulda got it 'cause i got a regular ole oven that is the biggest dud on the planet--cost a fraction of an elmira of course--
...but it's not too late--hahahaha
thing is--i've kinda grown out of that style--i used to love the victorian kinda old fashioned stuff--now i'm more mission style and minimal--warm but minimal--
i want a smooth stove top this time--easier to clean
I hear you K8, The only thing I have left in my living room as far as furniture (got rid of the couch and love seat) is a Stickley Morris chair and another chair in a coordinating color that I love.
But in my kitchen I like durable functioning pieces that have a bit of style. I'm just obsessed with things I cant afford and probably watched a little to much HGTV. 
Lol, I wish they would do my front yard, it's in such a sad and pitiful state. I'd really like to stick it to my neighbor with colorful plants exploding every where! We share the yard and I swear she has a gnome or some other form of decoration in every square foot or inch. They are slowly gaining ground towards my front porch.
