Summer Yard Sale!

Some of you might remember last years Yard Sale which was super fun and the biggest success in yard sale history (we missed the Garage Sale record by $18.20). So we’re doing it again. This Saturday, August 16th, we’ll be pulling out all the stuff from our closets and storage spaces that we no longer want, putting little price tage stickers on them, stacking them up and keeping our fingers crossed that you feel our prices are fair and decde to purchase them and take them home to love them all on your own. What kind of things will we have? Clothes for sure, a bunch of furniture, CDs and DVDs, electronics, some kitchen stuff (some which was probably a wedding gift that’s never even been used), toys, art, posters, bike crap, tools, and I’m guessing lots of other stuff. Several bloggers on this site (and their friends) are aiming to bring a few boxes of stuff to sell, Markland is threatening to bring a BBQ, and I’ll be bringing the ruckus. I guess there will also be some food and drinks and stuff, and probably some of it will be vegan friendly. So, you should come buy our stuff. I promise you won’t have buyers remorse till at least the next day.

Sale is at 1724 Golden Gate Ave [map] in Silver Lake, will start at 10am* and finish up around 3pm or when ever every single thing is gone, which ever comes earlier. Or later. See you there!

*And just to reiterate 10am means 10am, it doesn’t mean 9am or 8:45am or 7am or 9:20am it means 10am. Everytime I’ve ever had a yardsale some smartalic thinks he/she is going to show up an hour early and clean the place out, and everytime said smartalic ends up standing around grumpy for an hour because we weren’t ready until the time we said we’d be. So, we’ll be selling stuff from 10am on, not before. Got it?

    After driving by the "yard sale" I vow to never trust a garage sale post here again. Two tables of like 50 things. Nice press for no reason.

    Oh man, sorry we didn’t hold off on selling everything until you got there!

    pro tip: yard sales generally have more stuff when they open then when they close.

    Witty!!

    Sorry, but I was there right at 10am. I’m no pro but I do know what a small garage sale is. Maybe next time you write a quick blurb when you open the tennant style garage up rather than overhype.

    Ah, well in that case you gave up to early. A few of the people selling stuff didn’t even get there until 10:30, and most of the stuff that was there at 10 hadn’t even been brought out from the cars and garages and apartments where it was being stored. If you’d stopped you would have been told that everything was running a bit late.

    thanks. I’ll totally be there next time.
