Online community yard sale.....

[Flybye]

Okay, here's the thing. I have quite a few items that I need to clean out and get rid of, but I haven't the motivation......... SO..............I am thinking that we should have an online yard sale and I am inviting anyone else who wants to participate and needs the motivation like I do to join in.............

The day of the yard sale (for procrastinators who need a deadline like myself) will be: Sunday, July 27th. Post your stuff any time that day. That gives us all time to dig out stuff in our closets, drawers, boxes, garages, and everything else, take pictures, and post them online on Sunday.


If I am overstepping bounds, please, administrator, give me a neck choke, smack upside the head, or rip out my fingernails. Just don't ban me from the forum!

You are all invited, so dig out the goodies and the camera!

Cool idea! Where should we make these posts, though? I vote that we post our items in this forum with a prefix in the post title of "Yard Sale: "

I have a few things I've been meaning to put up on CraigsList or Ebay, but this will give me incentive to get organized and offer the stuff here first.

That's the plan, then. One vote democracy wins. All in favor say "I". All opposed, sorry!

I like the idea!

[TxDoc]

Sounds good - I will dig in my closet...

[uforgot]

I'm in!

[CarbonCandy]

I'm in! This pack rat needs unpacking!

[Trek420]

I'm in. I need to de-clutter for the remodel/sale.

Is this a yard sale or TE-Bay

I like the idea, but have a question...

Money? S&H charges? (that makes 2 questions, but they both involve money)

I have some old bike shoes to sell, so I'm in if I can figure out how to do it.Maybe I'll get a teenager to help me!

Some of my items, I'd like to give away for free.

So, when the time comes, should we post the items that require compensation in this forum; and the free ones in "free" forum?

[madscot13]

could we also edit the same post for solds? none of this searching if an item is take or whatever.

questions for the item could be pm'd directly and then the original post could also be edited and that question and answer posted.

just trying to prevent post clutter

[mimitabby]

good idea, madscot. I think you can sstill edit within a day or so of a post, so if it's all done the same day... it should work

[Flybye]

I think we should edit our posts as "sold"

I personally will take pay pal for $$ - that way no one will take me to the cleaners that isn't a regular here. I trust the lot of you!

I would recommend that if you aren't using pay pal and you sell an item to a name that you don't recognize, that you NOT send the item to the buyer until the check clears the bank.

Bump. Just a reminder.

I am at work using the computer right now b/c our modem has kicked the bucket. We won't get another one until later in the week. Hopefully we'll be up and running again before Sunday..........
