Alright, so I don't really want to hear anyone else say that we need the rain anymore. If we still need rain, then let's just admit that saying we need rain is a regional colloquialism because it feels like it's been coming down for a coupla weeks now. And with that, despite an absolutely beautiful Sunday, there were only very sparse yard sales to hit.There was one on Colonial Ave which consisted of a computer so old I'm pretty sure it maxes out playing pong, and a few random clothing items. Only one other sale was advertised in either The Roanoke Times or Craig's List, and none marked "rain or shine," leaving me with a good excuse to drive around drinking coffee and eating a bagel in lieu of cheaper, healthier foods at home, but little in the way of hope for decent sales.
With Saturday rains, I imagine that most who intended on having a yard sale this weekend didn't think it fitting to open up shop on Sunday, with invariably fewer yard salers and most people waking to get to church, not buy used copies of Reader's Digest.
Oh well, it looks like I'll have to wait just a little longer to get back into the yard sale swing of things, though I tip my hat to the Colonial Sale in solemn hopes that someone with an eye for vintage computer parts took that beast off your hands.
Sure, it could have been the absence of adverts and notices in local media that failed bring out the buyers on Saturday, making Sunday a bit of a wash.
The internet has changed the way we live in numerous ways and garage sales are not immune. Garage Sales Tracker is a new site that allows users to list their yard sales while saving both buyers and sellers time and money. Here are some of the benefits and features the site offers.
So check it out and see if Garage Sales Tracker is right for you. 'Til next week, be sure to make your sale signs readable and your pockets full of change!
