I told my mother that garage sales, especially in a rural area where we live, are a total waste of time. It averages out to be around $2 per hour for all the work, we have done it before and it was a miserable failure. She insisted and cleaned out a lot of stuff, that was a good that came from having the sale. Stuff is sorted out to go to Goodwill now (not that I care for Goodwill's business model, but they take our junk for free. Let them figure out what to do with it.)

I sold some books though, more than I have at previous sales. I have some book "sets" that are worth money on eBay auctions, but I am not an eBay seller and don't wish to become one. I was just looking there to get an idea of how much the books are going for. Most of the books I sold for $1 each, like new hardcovers. One lady drove 25 miles for a box of John Grisham hardcovers, I got some money for those, but they were listed on Facebook Marketplace where she saw the ad. I sold a catfish reel for $50 on Marketplace too, so it was a good sale for me overall. I cleared off an entire bookcase and put that bookcase out for sale but it didn't sell. The books will be donated, the ones that did not sell.

Maybe in a city where there are a lot of garage sales they are more popular? Do people go to them anymore, or is that so 1980? I don't think people even carry very much cash anymore. Mostly we got neighbors stopping by and they didn't buy much. We met some neighbors though and that was ok.

I'm never doing a garage sale again. Period.
