I hooted aloud at the “aggrieved squirrel” bit.
So, what was the take at the yard sale? Enough to pay the electric bill, buy a few pizzas, and get hammered? That’s how we calculated success in the olden days, anyway.
We pretty comfortably covered the costs of buying signs and price stickers and stuff to have the sale in the first place! … This does suggest we’ll do better if we hold another one.
Oh, I don’t think we’ll even need that much for next time. And we’re doing well on boxes, lately. The only real problem is where are we going to find the furniture to sell off next time around?

Masking tape = stickers, cardboard boxes with fluorescent words painted on = signs, borrow tables from friends, grab free boxes from wine stores.
You’ll only buy fluorescent paint next time. And if you make it yellow or orange, you can use the rest for Halloween pumpkin painting.

Well, I mean, we’ve got a futon in the guest room, and now it’s priced at “blank sticker”.
