If you're looking at this picture and say to yourself, "Hey! I gave Dave that and he's selling it at a garage sale!" Don't be offended. I pretty much am getting rid of everything I own. I'm taking clothes, (too many) CD's, computer/podcast stuff, a handful of DVD's & books...oh yeah, my baseball gear. That's it. Stereo, TV, bed, couch, tables, chairs, gone. So yes, I sold that vase you gave me (to be honest, I didn't even know it was a vase until the lady who bought it told me so). I'm moving to freakin Hawaii - give me a break.
Garage Sale culture is a bit creepy. I'm sorry if you're one of those cats, but it was a weird two days. Having people look at your stuff, approvingly or disapprovingly...it was just odd. Fortunately, I had to work overnights both days so I was so exhausted I didn't care all that much. There are people who take this stuff seriously - as if they're looking for the Holy Grail. Maybe a 20-year-old toaster IS someone's Holy Grail. There were were some people who stood out:
*Crazy Blender Guy
*Asperger Syndrome Red Wing Guy
*Are-there-only-two-of-these Chick
*The Guy bought all my CD's in one swoop (over 200 of them)
*Look At My Heart Surgery Scar Guy
What's left in the apartment? A borrowed torture chamber...I mean futon, portable table to do the podcast, computer, packing materials, couple of lamps, a few plants, I have no dresser so there's clothes all over the bedroom floor. Nothing on the walls. Oh, I still have to eat for the next 3 weeks so the kitchen has stuff in it, but most of it is Goodwill-bound on July 16th.
