How much for the book? What do you want for the lawnmower?" Lori never put up her Yard Sale signs She was going to put on color coded stickers She didn’t even crack open the package When we suggested a price one woman whispered “That’s too little” Now here was a pro She offered Lori a few tips on how to price the items As hard as it was to start the sale it was difficult to watch people rummage through my belongings and haggle over fifty cents mean paid $30 for the am asking $2 book and now and that’s too much? Dresses that cost $75 were going for one buck And then people would walk up to the pile of items spread out on three tables look frown and walk away - What my junk is not good for you?
