Garage Sale Heaven
My sister and I were having a joint garage sale last week. We had lots of different things we had gathered in our attics and garages over the years, but for some reason we had an abundance of luggage. Not just ours but parents, kids, visitors. Our houses must have been the black hole repositories of the dead luggage center. Anyway, I put her in charge of advertising and I was in charge of gathering everything and putting it out. She came that morning triumphant with a newspaper in her hand and smiling smartly showed me the ad: cheap luggage for sale! was the heading. I was SO annoyed. We’d get a lot more customers I thought if she had listed more of what we had and not focused on one item. However the WHOLE day we were swamped with people coming to the garage sale. The number one thing we heard was, do you have any more of that cheap luggage? It must all be gone by now. Amazingly the people who came for our luggage left with plenty of our junk! I have to admit. She was a genius.
