Garage Sale

Finally after 6 and a half years of marriage we were able to part with some presents we got from our reception. I will spare commenting on the specific items because I do not want to offend anyone that might have given them to us. And boy did it feel good. With each move we have had I have picked these said items up and asked my wife "so, is it time?" and the answer was always "let's wait just a little longer to throw it away." So now that we are in San Diego and are trying to de-clutter, it was a perfect time for a garage sale. It just so happened that our neighbors picked the same day so we were able to combine forces which made it even more fun. We all had our roles during the sale. I was the introduction guy, helping the buyer understand the significance of the item and the history behind it. Camille was the price nazi, who early on put higher prices on the items and then quickly learned that it really was junk, and lowered them down to market value. Logan was that guy that just sat on the chair and stared everyone down, making them anxious to purchase quick and without thought. Connor was the destroyer. Whatever was glass or easily breakable, Connor was heading for it. Slade (Camille's Brother) was our helper, with his experience from having garage sales at home. And then there was Brayden, oh Brayden, he was the closer. One particular example of this was after I had been talking to a lady for quite a while about a few items, Brayden came over and said, "so are you going to buy it or what?" He was no non-sense, no beating around the bush, and really helped people get off the fence. He sold us quite a few items with his bold sales ability. He taught me a thing or two about sales :)
