The First Annual “One Coin At A Time” Yard Sale!

As some of you might already know, we here at “One Coin At A Time” have been setting things aside that we’ve come across over the last year or so in preparation for selling those said items at a yard sale. Well folks, today was the day, although we had planned it a couple of days ago.

Even before we had set things up, people were stopping in droves. Being on a busy main road is good for traffic and we also had two other yard sales going on just down from us so it was a buyer’s paradise. From 7.45 am until 2 pm the buyers kept coming, and when it was all over, we had made over 150 in profits with at least 50 to 60 percent coming from found items. To say that the yard sale was a success would be an understatement. What I was more amazed with was the amount of “stuff” we sold and what we were able to get for it. Now we need to find more items for next year’s sale!

Money Report – Michele was out extremely early on her morning walk Lexi. While on her trek she found a total of 2 cents for her troubles. The first penny was found on Mill Street and the second on Main.

During the evening walk we added another 35 cents (1 dime, 3 nickels, and 10 pennies). As we headed out down Main Street we found a nickel and a penny. At the car wash we netted 27 cents, all of which was found scattered on the ground around the vacuum areas. At the 7-11 we found a penny in the parking lot, and we added a penny that found at the Cumberland Farms.

Sox Talk – On paper, this one looked like a sure win. Josh Beckett was on the bump with an 11-1 record against Robinson Tejeda who had been having his troubles. I guess that’s why they play these games though, as the Rangers, after being down 4-0, came back against Beckett and tagged him with his second loss of the year, 5-4. Boston did have their chances to score more runs off him, but lately, they just haven’t been finding that clutch hit they’re looking for. That said, the Rangers bullpen pitched exceptionally well, as did the sox pen. Here’s hoping for a bounce-back win tomorrow.

Good Night and Good Hunting~
