Today an estate sale, was advertised, and it just so happens to be in my neighborhood, of course, I am attending.
The crowd is large so everyone signs up on a yellow legal pad. They are on number 134, and I have signed on and am 194, yikes!
How long do you wait to shop an estate sale?
This is the first time I am using the Blogger app on my cell phone.
Must be a good sale! We don't have sign in's here. I don't think I have ever had to wait (other than waiting for them to open the door). I see a lot of people post about having to get a number to get in but I guess they don't do that here. If it was a good sale I would wait! Hope you got in and got some great stuff!
ReplyDeleteBrrrrr! Was it really that cold? But I guess if you have to wait, better to do it in a cool climate. Down here I would not last more than 15 minutes. We hit the 90's today! Can't wait to hear if there were any bargains left by the time you got in.
ReplyDeleteWe dont have anything like that over here Paulette. I have seen garage sales occasionally and of course we have car boot sales.It would be interesting to pop along to one.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have anything like that here. I'm going to be selling at a carboot sale tomorrow, so I'm hoping for good weather and lots of sales!
ReplyDeleteI rarely go to an estate sale at the opening bell. Signing a list (we have them here in IL) and waiting in my car for my number to be called just drives me nuts. I feel like I am wasting time. I realize I miss some "good" items, but I'd rather hit a garage sale(s) and find a treasure. It is a dilemma!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of sales that you have to sign up for, but as far as I know, we don't have those around here. I'm not the most patient person in the world, so I don't see myself waiting in line for too long unless I was super curious or knew there was something I really, really wanted.
ReplyDeleteSo did you get in and what, if any, treasures did you find?
Oh gosh! Our sales are never so big that we have to get a number... there may be a line but its generally first come first serve!
