Bob commented on the article HELP! I'm Having My First Yard Sale! by Pam Johnston May 08, 2008 11:31AM EDT
"Pam, I only have one piece of advice: donate whatever doesn't sell to goodwill, church charity shop, etc. Whatever you do, don't take it back into your house!" more

thanks for the tip! i'm psyched that my best friend and i are going to be on bahia honda this year -- we stayed on key largo last year, which was nice, but it was so far from Key West that we barely got a chance to visit. i think we'll have a lot more opportunity to hang out down there this year. should be fun!
