This young couple just came in. They have a microwave or any furniture.
Dad's like, well, we do have a microwave. You would have sold a microwave, wouldn't you?
Yep, I would. Our only microwave, we have no plans to sell it, but if they make an offer, it's right.
It's gone. So we've got a toolbox, a radio, a backpack, and whatever. We've got a TV that
nobody watch because it's an old TV. If they got enough money, just like that car right there,
we've been offered, you know, money for that car. And I said, if you want it, take it.
Anything's for sale. That's right. Anything. Except for my wife and my son. If you're in
a coffee grinding your own beans, we got a coffee grinder to grind your own beans.
About 50. And then yesterday was a great day. Sold a lot of high ticket items.
A kerosene heater, a rototiller, a weed wacker, some plates.
The gentleman that came and brought my dishes that I had since I've been 18. And I had him for
$40. He got me down to $30. The little girl next to her comes and asks Dale to help her dad load
this big thing and this guy's trunk or car. And it happened to be the guy that got my dishes.
I think that's a wheeler dealer, the guy there. I noticed that you have a towel over this. This is
the bench grinder. Now the towel over it, that denotes that it's not for sale, right? Correct.
But what if somebody came up to you and said, Captain Dale, how much for the bench grinder?
If they would have made me a decent offer on it, it would have been gone. Same idea. You have a
tarp over all these items, right? Right. That means I'm not for sale. Correct. What if someone
said, I'll buy that shovel for $5? This shovel I would have gotten rid of. Can you help me,
young man, because I'm not tall enough. My sickle, it's a collector's item now because you don't see
this kind of stuff anymore because they take and cut the plants or the weeds by going like that.
Or if you're ticked off at somebody, it would make a nice whoosh. Use this shovel. This shovel comes in handy.
You know, if they bought it for $5, then you're out of shovel. Right. Then what does a shovel
usually cost, say, what if it's $6? Or even if it was $5, then you're back at square one. You
essentially wouldn't need to make that sale at all. Nope. But you would anyway. Yeah, I would.
Believe it or not, I purchased this Korean War area shovel. 19, wow. 1945. No, it's World War 2.
And I purchased this from a garage sale and the guy's name is Tony. I hope it isn't the same Tony
that took over my business with Mr. V. I would take this shovel and put it like this and with
Tony come over, I would literally hack them to take control of who's the boss. No, I would not
let it go for a dollar if they offered me $20. It would take him across my mind and say, okay,
yes, you have a sale. This table here is my wife's girlfriend's table and this one ethnic lady
come in. She wanted to buy a purse and she says, is that real leather? And she looked and she's
seen a label that says made in China and she says this is not made in the USA. It's not real
leather. She put it down. She in essence grabbed another purse and she noticed a little scratch
in the leather and she says, would you take $1 less for that? And I said, yes. She says,
we're asking too much for the purses. I said, well, it's not my table. She says, well, if you lower
the price, more people would probably buy it. I think there are people that want to take it if
they were to buy it, they would take and turn around if they have a yard sale, they would sell
it at a higher price. Does that anger you? Not so much it doesn't anger me. It's just that they're
trying to take and get me to come down on my price and they buy it and they in turn sell it for a
higher price, which is okay, because that's a Catholic society. But I don't want them to step
on my toes to get it. How long did you think about that customer after they left? Quite long,
because in a process, that's a nice car out there, how much you offer the car. I might
send my husband back and they never sent their husband back and now the car sits in a driveway.
You didn't plan on selling that, but you would if they gave you enough money. That's correct. Maybe I'm
going to walk to the store. That's right. In fact, I have a gentleman's telephone number and a
cell phone number that if we want to get rid of the car, call him and there's a very, very good
possibility that he would take the car. He's got to look at this. How do you pronounce it? It's
Kalanetics. The nice curve of the woman's back and it comes down to her deer ear and her nice legs
and everything. And by exercising with this tape, that's what the women folk can look like. I made
money. I made more money than I thought we would. What do I always do with extra money? Grocery shopping.
If I had my way and everything in the way and I think there's almost a full moon coming, I would
take not all of it, but a little small portion of it and I think I would take and go to try to make
the whatever I made a little bit bigger by going down to the casino. Two bucks. No holes or anything.
No, but she can put all this stuff around and make a game. Oh, really? When she comes out,
I'm going to offer her the chance to buy this stand and put this mosaic thing on there.
Oh, crystal ball. What is my future? You missed out on a great opportunity. Is this going to be
used for any kind of mystical properties or anything? Once you know, oh, crystal ball,
what is the future or anything? But look at this. For one extra dollar, you can just stand at this
set sign and it holds up and look how sturdy it is. Okay. But it's not going to be for any kind of
use for any kind of mystical purposes. Okay, it's not. I'm glad because I do not believe in a call.
It was very rewarding. We saw a lot of stuff that we've had for years that we no longer used and
figure other people can use it. It's one man's, so to speak, junk is another man's treasure.
That's all I can say about the garage sale.
