And I'm with you, I'd rather just give something away than go to all that bother to sell things for nickles and dimes.rohanknitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204689018718224728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101652560774429919.post-51331065259304161992009-09-15T20:48:00.031-05:002009-09-15T20:48:00.031-05:00Good for you June!

I desperately need to get some cleaning out done around here but I don't seem to have any free weekends in the forsee-able future. And then the holidays will be here before we know it....{sigh}. Until then, I will revel in your clean closets!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101652560774429919.post-2783303406613413942009-09-15T17:20:42.488-05:002009-09-15T17:20:42.488-05:00Your story made me laugh.

I started to give it to him a little and my husband said to take it so that we can tell someone we sold a nickel item. LOL. <br /><br />However, I must confess that we made quite a bit of needed money at our yard sale and cleaned out the basement, too.<br /><br />My son had a lemonade stand and made a killing in his own right.sassypriscillahttp://sassypriscilla.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101652560774429919.post-40109588562442683902009-09-15T15:50:05.875-05:002009-09-15T15:50:05.875-05:00Oh my, June, I would have been THRILLED to give yo...Oh my, June, I would have been THRILLED to give you $3 for a brand new ice cream maker! I guess some people feel they always have to bargain on the price no matter what!<br /><br /> I never had a yard sale but I do donate all my unwanted clothes, toys, and small knick knacks to several local religious and veterans organizations that collect them to sell to use the profits for their soup kitchens or outreaches. It's so much better than sending them to a garbage dump somewhere!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101652560774429919.post-45405639813370052502009-09-15T11:43:28.505-05:002009-09-15T11:43:28.505-05:00I thought I was the only one doing fall cleaning, ...I thought I was the only one doing fall cleaning, since I never did get around to doing my spring cleaning!<br /><br />I too am donating items with a weekly trip to the Goodwill. I think half of the store is filled with my old stuff. I also hate garage sales, so I donate instead of trucking all the stuff outside for a measly $25.00. If I ever have another one, I'll try your tactic by adding their offer to the price. That is awesome!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07701995401897016618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101652560774429919.post-1723015622992340702009-09-15T11:42:33.305-05:002009-09-15T11:42:33.305-05:00Good for you, in all ways!

The quilting group that I sew with every Monday (since Hurricane Katrina) wouldn't be possible without others cleaning out their stash, their mother's, grandmother's, wive's, and sometimes even great-grandmother's! It's all we can do to buy batting, thread etc.and of course quilt ;) We love charitable donations and we give back in full kind with lovely quilts to a multitude of causes. The gifts that keep on giving are the best kind!!!Michele Bilyeuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979296861999606692noreply@blogger.com
