The yard sale

A few years back, we had a yard sale. It was the first one we had had in a long while so we decided to make it worth it and make a profit.

In the past, not many people had stopped at our yard sales, and we ended up taking home half of what we wanted to sell. So we went to Home Depot and bought a few plastic tables to set up. We loaded up the truck and headed to my grandparents’ house, since they lived on the street. We had hundreds of dollars worth of stuff for sale and were really excited.

Well, two hours passed and we had had two customers. We looked around for what we had sold and added everything up and we ended up with $7. Take away gas to get to my grandparents’ house, price tags and those four tables we bought, and we ended up with $121.34 in the hole.
