Free Friday
One of the best things about our Friday garage sale was the free zone. I know it's bad business to give too much away for free. What is bad business is often good for the soul. Just think what the world would be like if corporations subscribed to this mentality. Ah, but back to our sale. . .
Books have become harder to sell. They are still considered treasures when free. An older rice cooker without a cord was a welcome find to one of our customers. An assorted collection of odd ephemera provided customers a place to hunt for a treasure known only to themselves. Many found it. Watching them provided priceless entertainment.
Seeing the happy faces when they discovered our expansive free zone was worth a great deal. We still made money but it was the free zone that made the day most productive. The best things in life are free.
