First showing
« on: December 01, 2011, 07:58:54 pm »
The place where my wife works put on a yard sale craft sale and she was asked if we were going to set up a table. I wasn't sure if I should or not but thought what the heck what do we have to lose, the table was only 10.00. When she came home I asked her how it went and she said she sold some stuff. When I counted up the money I was surprised, she sold around 150.00 worth the stuff. Not bad for first showing.

Way to go Bill.  You just never know how things will work out till it over.
     My FIRST try at selling my crafts came from my youngest daughter and her husband asking me if they could set up a table at their craft show.  They did all the work and I couldn't believe it when they handed me $400.00 from the two day sale.  Wow!  Danny  :+}

I agree with GreyBeard, you are in a win win situation.   Nice one
