I was thinking of having a garage sale to convert some of our old gadgets to cash - -Seems like a great idea in my head, but reality tells me that the time spent on waiting for some random buyer to drive in our front lawn is not appealing.
Last weekend, we unloaded 3 large boxes for donation and since we gave out items that are slightly used (game boards, clothes that were worn once or twice, kitchen gadgets that were recently upgraded etc), one teen suggested that there is a high potential that she can find a gem out of the pile at Goodwill . Hmmm..we are donating and unloading some of our stuff -- now you want more? Fine..let's just browse....
(Oh by the way - I plan to declare the items when we file our taxes through our accountant Download DONATION TRACKER by adobolife)
...True enough, she found a couple of classic books at $1.99 each (Retails $12 ) and I got a John Maxwell book (Retails $24) that I was browsing through the other day at Barnes and Nobles.
One teen found a picture frame for $0.99 cents and a wall art for $1.99 that matches her pink room
After an hour of going through the aisle of random items we don't really need, we left the place with two bags loaded with books and it only cost me $20 (I'm sure it's more than $200 at retail). So happy that we took the time out to check this out as the $20 is surely worth 3 months of reading materials for my voracious readers.
