Garage Sale

 

Welcome!

Being a bit of a computer nerd AND a packrat, I've managed to accumulate a variety of computer parts and peripherals.  I decided that the best way to make room for some new stuff was to sell the old stuff.  A garage sale seemed like a good idea.  Since I was going to go to the trouble of having a garage sale, I decided I should also go through all the other stuff I've managed to accumulate, and put it all in one big sale.  Apparently, having a garage sale seemed like a good idea to others in my family, too, so they've contributed a variety of goods to make things interesting.  As it turns out, there's too much stuff for the garage alone, so I'm having a Garage AND Yard Sale.  We live on two acres, so there's plenty of yard!

Since it's so expensive to advertise in the newspaper, my husband suggested putting together a website listing everything I want to sell, and including photos.  Then, he said, I could just list the website address in the newspaper ad, and people who were really interested could see for themselves whether it was worth making a trip to our house.  So I've made a list below of the major items, with descriptions and links to photos as I thought might be needed or helpful. 

Sale Dates: I had the sale already, but still have lots of stuff that needs to be sold.  Send me an e-mail message if you're interested in any of the items listed below.
Location:  Lancaster, TX (15 minutes south of Dallas)
