But Nobody Bought The Yard



How many books we sold at my daughter’s yard sale depends on whether you mean the ones I wrote or the ones I read. Either way, I came back with a lighter load.

I’ve concluded that for most people yard sales aren’t worth the time and effort: It’s like putting all the work into setting up a small business, then shutting it down again after just three days. But in this case I got to hang out with my daughter and grandkids, so there was that.

    1. Absolutely. Plus, I got plenty of exercise hauling stuff around that week.

  2. Books only sell at yard sales if they're cheap, Mark. The cheap stuff goes fast!

    1. I certainly did sell the old ones cheap! I was afraid that if they came back I'd never be willing to let them go again.
