Don’t get me wrong; I love yard-sale-hopping on a Saturday morning. I’m all about the thrill of the chase. But there are parts of it I could do without, like the 1) getting up early and 2) crazy people. (Fortunately my “crazy people” encounters have been mercifully few, but it happens.) And don’t even get me started on gross things. (Pro tip: If your item actually smells? Do not try to sell it. To anyone. Just throw it away. It’s okay.)
But! Today you can shop the big Yard Sale at 6pm.com, and enjoy great prices without all the rest of the typical yard sale hassles. Like, I can pretty much guarantee your ankles won’t get wet while you shop. (What, I’m the only person who ever had to walk across someone’s lawn when the dew was still on just to check out something cute? Nevermind, then.)
Smells, or has stretched out elastic.
My mother once brought all her old underwear to my sister’s garage sale. “There’s still good use in those!”
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
