| ~*Fun Things to do at Garage and Yard Sales*~ |
| * Demand to see something that's not out for sale. When they go to look for it, leave. * Ask for a 90% reduction in the marked price. * Walk around criticizing the quality, condition, color, size, quantity, price and anything else about the merchandise. Leave saying "I've seen better junk at the landfill!" * Spend a lot of time picking up, fondling and walking around with a bunch of stuff. When you get their hopes high enough, put it all back and leave. * When not observed, switch or remove the price tags. * When you see a sale, go home, round up all the neighborhood kids and dogs, bring them to the sale and let them loose. Stay in the car and watch the fun. * When you see a sale, drive ever so slowly by. Go up the block, turn around and drive slowly by again. Repeat a dozen times. * Ask for food and drink. * Act like you’re lost. Ask for directions. Pretend you don't understand. Leave cursing. * Pass 2 or 3 hours in inane conversation. Leave without making a purchase. * Walk all over in their neighbor's yards. Peek at the sale through the shrubbery. Ring the neighbor's doorbells. Ask "Where's the garage sale?" * Pretend like you're going to buy a lot of valuable or fragile items. Make them wrap them very carefully. After this say "I've changed my mind" and leave. * Picket the sale with a sign that reads "Garage Sales Unfair to Retail Merchants" |
