Our neighborhood hosted their annual multi-family yard sale last week, and the Maker (pictured here, with a selection of his loot) was up by 7 am on a Saturday, armed with $5.00 and ready to fight for first pick of the best goods.
I think he got pretty good value for his money, but I’ll let you judge for yourself:
- One weird squeezy balloon filled with flour and taped shut: ABSOLUTELY FREE!
- One creepy voodoo doll, apparently in reasonably good health: ABSOLUTELY FREE!
- A remote-control fart machine: $1.00
- A battered, piece-of-crap Airsoft pistol: $2.00
- An old basketball: $1.00
- A flat volleyball (with lots of dog scratches, he said): ABSOLUTELY FREE!
- Juice box: 50 cents
- Fruit Roll-Up: 50 cents
The remote-controlled fart machine was the purchase he was most excited about but it didn’t come with batteries, so we’ll undoubtedly be forking over (another) $5.00 in order to purchase those. Can’t wait!
