I had a big yard sale yesterday, trying to get rid of stuff and raise some petty cash for my move to Ohio in two weeks.
Of course, there had to be suck.
Most of the customers were really nice. There was very little dickering, in fact too little. Few people counter offered my asking prices on some things (and everything was reasonably priced). Every customer who counter offered walked away with the item; I was serious about moving it.
One guy bought several things from me: my table saw, some garden tools, and a gate extender for a pickup truck. The latter was missing a piece, so I was only asking for $5 for it. I had a Jeep bikini top sitting next to it. He asked me about the extender, I told him about the missing piece, he said he wanted it anyway. So I take his money.
We were busy, and I got distracted as he was loading up. After he left, another customer asked about the bikini top because I had advertised it.
It was gone.
Asshole!
