Yard Sale Was a Big Disappointment

Happy Sunday everyone!
Our community yard sale was supposed to be yesterday but since it rained they postponed it until today.
Originally I wasn't going to participate since I didn't have that much stuff gathered to sell but since I was up early I figured I'd give it a try
Hardly any neighbors participated and very few customers came looking.
Although the sun is shining and it's a nice day, the wind made everything complicated.
The few of us who had stuff to sell spent more time keeping our stuff from blowing away.
Needless to say, I gave up and called it quits.
Certainly wasn't worth the time or energy for the little bit of time I spent outside.
Oh well...

That is too bad, so much and organization goes into a yard sale, it is too bad that it was rained out.
Now that you have some items, maybe you could sell them online, since you have already parted with them emotionally.
Yard sales never really made a rebound here after the lockdown from the pandemic.

@Marilynda1225 I agree that Sundays may not be the best day, and when events are postponed due to weather, they never really do well it seems.

We have 2 community yard sales here
One in the spring and one in the fall. Usually they do pretty good but I wonder if Sunday isn't a good day for lots of customers.

@Marilynda1225 I haven’t in awhile, but it wouldn’t hurt to talk to Diana about it again. My dad won’t be interested, but perhaps she’s open to it.

It just might be that Sunday doesn't bring out many people

Happy Sunday indeed.
So sorry to hear that the yard sale didn't go too well.
Maybe the change of day made it more difficult for people to participate . I would have given up and gone home as well.
We went to a Sunday Market today which was a total waste of time also. Hardly anyone there, windy, a bit of rain, not good.
A bit early in the year for things like that in Scotland. They should leave it until June or July.

That would be disappointing. Not much you can do about it. I hope you have better luck next time. Do they only have one a year?

Some days are wonderful and some days for sales are bad.

How often do they organize Yard Sale? Hope better next time.

Sometimes Mother Nature doesn't care what humans plan to do... She has a mind of her own.
At least you did spend some time outside, though.

You never know with outside activities. Are you all going to reschedule it?
