Coming here in September in our apartment & town house complex is a parking lot sale too. I think maybe they have already sold all the parking lots they dare, as above ground parking is somewhat scarce.

Tickles me, I have been to most of them while living here and have seen a few things show up that I had seen in the sales before, be sold and show up next year. I wonder if they have changed hands at every sale that has been held since the apartments were built ?

Of course one advantage of those sales is that no one pays sales tax. But in many cases they are weird, surreal types, both in the clothes worn by both sellers and shoppers and by some of the dingbat things that are put out to sell. The amazing thing is seeing something you would not be caught dead carrying away, or if you had it you would consign it to the dumpster - being sold to some poor, gullible person. Often it is the wife buying and the hubby toting it to their apartment but there is the vice versa thingy, hubby will talk wifey into letting him buy something that has taken his eye and wifey sadly watching him tote his treasure up to their apartment. In both cases it looks to me that most of us here are in the same boat. If we bring something home the decision then is what to give away, take to Goodwill or put in the dumpster to make room for the prize and I suspect it is much the same for them a kind of GIGO operation.

For the most part I think we all go slightly crazy at any of those sales.

The nowadays Bazaar is Garage, Yard, Parking Lot sales where none of the above are sold, what can be more bizarre than that ? . . . . . . . . . . . .
