Each participant labels their items with a price and their own initials. Then, we keep track of the initials for each purchase. That way, when the sale is over, the money is divided up according to what is sold, and each participant chooses to use the money in whatever way he/she wants. However, most of the money has gone to the church... some donating 50%, 75%, or 100%. It's each person's choice. We believe it yields much better results for all of us when we have the sale together.<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth: I'm happy to announce we sold almost $900 in merchanidise. Some were GREAT bargains, and others were just junk. But, like "they" say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. As you heard during your visit, our church is looking into obtaining a new AC system, and we also have a meeting in the fall... so I pray our donations will assist in those endeavors.<BR/><BR/>Owl: Thanks for stopping by. I fear I was not able to see your post before the end of the sale. Brother Jerry was selling part of his library, and there were some great books. (I added a few to my library.) A man offered to take all of our leftover yard sale stuff to help in a sale for the church he attends, so we gave him what was left Saturday afternoon and were thankful for his help. I'm sure we'll have another sale next year... so we'll keep you posted on the books then!stremhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607081379914875059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201214.post-676402240973541002007-08-26T16:14:00.000-05:002007-08-26T16:14:00.000-05:00It seems like I remember having people lining the ...It seems like I remember having people lining the yard at 6:00 and 6:30...that's just too early.<BR/><BR/>I love going to yard sales, though, mostly looking for books.
