We have yard sales and garage sales...just tag everything you want to get rid of right there in your yard or garage, and put up a sign at the road! We have flea markets too. I had sales at a flea market every Friday and Saturday for two years,to make extra money. At these flea markets you can set up tables or sell from the 'trunk' of your car. Some people lay stuff all over their cars and also spread a cloth on the ground beside the car. A big new gas station and car wash was built in the lot where we had the flea market, which put a stop to our selling!Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-80875062259382429772013-08-30T23:54:38.124-07:002013-08-30T23:54:38.124-07:00This is interesting isn't it ? so what do you...This is interesting isn't it ? so what do you call 'boot sales' ?
