(Not) Closed for the winter
Blame the cold. Blame school. Blame the NFL. Blame the new TV season. Blame whatever you want, but the time is upon us to pull back on the yard sale postings.
Without a doubt, yard sales will continue in our absence — just look at those classified ads in the newspaper on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays — but they are certainly fewer and further between.
Eventually, in the coming weeks, the listings will dry up even more, but the deals are still out there.
You just have to look a little harder for them: There are auctions and craft shows. There are “Items for Sale” classified lists. There are the antique shops, used book stores, thrift stores, pawn shops and other specialty stores.
The deals are there.
The hunt is just a little harder.
And we leave you to it until next Spring …
… unless we have to brag about a great deal, answer a question from a reader or pass along a solid tip.
… So maybe you should check back every once in a while.
Just in case.
