So we found ourselves needing to have a yard sale for a few reasons. The big reason is we’re trying to save up some money, but we also have a storage room filled with stuff that frankly, we just don’t need. Over the last week or so, we’ve been gathering boxes of things that we want to get rid of, and hauling them up to the shop.
We decided to have the yard sale at the shop for a couple of reasons. It’s easier, for one. We already have tables there, and space that we can set everything up. It has made the gaming a little more difficult, though, as 5 of our 7 rectangle gaming tables are being used for non-gaming purposes. Another reason is the potential for rain. We set up on the sidewalk and inside the storefront, and could move inside if the rain were an issue. It also gives us the chance to tell people about what we do at Legends. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been told "I didn’t know this place was here" or seen people peek in, look confused, and leave.
We’re running it for four days, from 8am til whenever. On Friday, whenever was 7pm; Saturday, it was 5. I’m already exhausted, and we’ve got two more days of it. We’ve not sold any of the big stuff yet, but I’m patient, and hopeful.
Oh, and I’ve spent the evening tonight unearthing more things to sell in the storage room. I finally had to give up. But who knows, maybe I’ll find more tomorrow.
