I have quit pricing stuff and just make up the price as they ask me, they always want to pay less than asking anyway so it has worked the past 2 times.

My MORE favorite way of doing it is when my aunt does her annual sale and I just price and bring my stuff over. If I'm even too lazy for that, Goodwill gets all the stuff! I should just fill your house up with our toys...they are all in perfect condition, but every Jan/Feb, I MUST clear some out because 4 kids just got tons of new Christmas toys. OY.<BR/><BR/>I love the look! That woman looks just like you...except she should have darker curly hair. But the martini fits.

I would love to make $400 selling my crap but I always come away from those things with about $40 to $60...ugh!!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the sleep clinic. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

But I've helped at them before and people can really make a lot of money. The thing you expect nobody will want is the thing that everybody wants. "One man's junk is another man's treasure"...or something like that!<BR/><BR/>Too bad about Rachel not sleeping! Not to sound like a mother-in-law or anything, but when she cries do you go right in the room to get her? The guy beside me at work does that and everyone tells him to just let his son cry and in a few nights he'll stop. They all did it and it worked wonders. If she knows you'll go in when she cries, she's gonna keep doing it! Heh heh! They're smart little buggers.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, NOT trying to make light of it. I just know that people hate to see their kids cry so they go to them right away when they do. Kids pick up on that stuff from birth. I cry, Mommy comes running, I'm happy. Hmmmm...good deal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
