[...] Karl showed up with a few things to sell and helped us finish setting up. We were both feeling a little stressed, but had to laugh when we saw he had brought along one of our favorite signs ever: Nice Quality. [...]

Karen, I am laughing so hard about the names for your regulars! I can only imagine … And I am now obsessed with the term “courtesy call.” Perfect!

I have even brought it in the house, since I have no place for it. sad, but true. I have to “sneak” some stuff into the house once in awhile…

i must get in the habit of taking a picture of my trunk at the end of each day of yard sales. i love the memories. i just love your blog too. we actually have names for all the collectors who are early birds to the sales. there is Grandma, Neil Young, Mr Disney,and Bastard Charlie, just to name a few. we have a lingo with my friends also when we are driving up to a sale… “drive by” (usually when we see baby items or exercise machines) or “courtesy call” lets get out of the car to be polite. we especially like the sales when “grandma just died” we see the oxygen machine for sale and everything smells like cigarette smoke.. go figure that one. keep the blog going, it is very entertaining.

Those lockers are so fabulous, don’t you just hate when you find something like that and don’t have a place for them or a way to get them home?!!? Makes me a crazy person. -e

Bad estate sale people, all they have to do is close the door and hang a “private” sign outside.

I would be tempted to say “So that’s who’s under those bandages!” And run away really fast.

I love the globe of Schlitz and Snoopy picture.
