I didn't sell as much as I'd hoped today although the police being at my home at 7:00 this morning probably didn't help. Anyway, after about 1 1/2 - 2 hours, I reduced the prices on everything to 50%. One or two people suggested that I put a couple of more signs up since I'm back in a cul-de-sac. I'll do that for tomorrow since I decided to just keep stuff out and extend this thru tomorrow. I'm not sure many people go to yard sales here on Sundays though. This morning I had pastries for people for 25 cents each and no one got a single one. I wouldn't mind including a cookout tomorrow, too, and selling plates of burgers or dogs or whatever if I thought people would buy it. But I definitely don't want to prepare for that then people not buy it. So I'm wondering two things- 1) Do you advertise the cookout so people will be prepared or do you ask them to contact you ahead of time if they're interested in it or what?, 2) Do you have any other suggestions about how to get more people in? There is a house down the street for sale, I was thinking I'll ask them if they want to add anything in for my next yard sale, 1-2 weeks from now, but I'm not prepared for that this weekend.
Of course difficult child has disappeared again so it will probably be another night and early morning of police involvement. However, I think I figured out how he got into the house this morning- so I have checked all first floor windows now to make sure they are locked. (I will let him back in if he knocks and I'm home but I have an issue with him sneaking back into the house in the wee hours of the morning- he knows he can call and tell me he'd like back in and I will unlock the door for him.) He refuses to give me the key to my car that he's somehow gotten a hold of, or if it isn't that, to tell me how he's getting into my car when I'm keeping it locked and my set of keys in my pocket 24/7.
