Yard Sale compatibility test

The life and the yard sale

As I sit at my yard sale for the third day i've seen a trend.

There are the peopel who want everything just given tot hem. Of course most people want everythign they want for free, and they want everything that they are selling for twice what its worth. That's really the american way I think.

There are the people that want only one thing. Most of the time it's fishing or pottery. These people will quickly run through and then off they go....talking about that one elusive item.

There are the people that will buy anything, just as long as it kinda suits them. One person bought 3 old magnets for a quarter.

Then there's the team. True story: A couple pulled up. They took out a few dollars out of an envelope. They had a strategy: The husband would take one side the wife the other. They get out and begin looking. As they see things, they yell to their spouse the items they see and find, so the spouse doesn't have to look over there. They arrive at the back, where I am, say thank-you at the same time and quickly leave

Fianlly, the drive bys. These people will slow way down. Drive by the sales, look real quick, and then quicky gun their engine and leave


Is this who these people are in real life? The planners, the drive buys (People just passing through and not taking any thing too seriously, and most things aren't important enough to figure out or get reall in detail with), the people looking only for one thing, and they endlessly look. Maybe the way we act at a yard sale is our real us.

The next time you want to see if you and "your friend" are a true match, go out to a few yard sales with them. You coulkd find out some things you did n't know about them previously. Are you dating a drive by?
