I love my yardsale site

[jinkies]

when I first discovered facebook yardsale groups, I was in it for the deals.

I haven't bought anything in a few years, but I still look regularly because the drama is so entertaining.

Heaven help the posters who try to sell comped tickets.

Also, last week, someone bought something for $20, decided she didn't want it, and put it up for sale for $25 the next day, with the explanation that she needed the extra $5 to cover her gas (...because she picked the item up 15 minutes from her house). A shitstorm ensued.

This is what my life has become.

I have to wonder how long it does take for a plasma TV to turn on. We had a B/W tv in the mid-80's that took up to a half hour to come on. I missed A LOT of Little House on the Prairie because of that stupid TV. Thankfully the audio came on right away.

I am guessing it takes less than half an hour

Yesterday, a girl on mine posted a pair of camoflauge and pink lace panties because they were the wrong size (does that mean she tried them on?). The following comments ensued:

"Is that musky oak?"

"Camel-flauge"

"Camo-toe"

I died. The OP was not amused.

My favorite is all the people who post things like:

"ISO a flat screen tv in good working condition for cheap or free"

Our TV did this too!  I remember my parents coming home from a party one night with a new TV that my mom had won in a raffle, and my little sister and I were so excited when we realized that the picture started working as soon as you turned it on.

Thanks to this post I checked out my local yard sale sight and may soon be the proud owner of a Tony Gazelle walking machine

I have been a member of my local one for almost a year and have made about $1000 selling old baby clothes and a few other household things. I've never actually bought anything. My favorite part is reading the posts and discussions. Someone was looking for an isle for her kids. Apparently it wasn't of the tropical isle variety, it was of the easel variety. The same person was also looking for someone to pierce her 1 month old's ears because Claire's wouldn't do it.
