I come from a long line of garage salers, auction salers & over all deal getters. Leo has even enjoyed garage saling for the last two summers. However I have never hosted or been on the non-buying side until this weekend. In an effort for my sister in-laws to get rid of most of their baby stuff (they both have 2 kids and aren’t planning on any more) & my husbands need to clean out our garage we had a multifamily sale this weekend. I had loaned a bunch of our baby stuff to one of my sister in-laws & now felt the pressure to give up some of these things so they wouldn’t just take up space. We are unsure if we can have another child & the thought of getting rid of everything felt like I would be giving away all hope for another child. In the end I let go of a few of the bigger items & was really excited for the Grandparents-to-be who scooped them up. However I’m a little sad they are gone but it was a great feeling that I could help someone else out. Even thought my sister in-laws made way more $ than our family overall both found that the $ made was not “worth it” but also found some joy in helping out others. They are in the mind set not to have another garage sale. Now I’m conflicted because if folks or myself feel like garage sales aren’t “worth it” will I still be able to enjoy them in the future? I sure hope so.
