And why should I make the pilgrimage to North La Pine for it? you ask.

Because, of course, you'll be able to get some really cool stuff for very little money.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

Well ... how about stuff for some serious outdoor and athletic fun? There's a Bowflex (you've seen 300 and of course always wanted to own one since), a 12' Lund fishing boat, Men's and Women's Golf Bag and Clubs, Bicyles and Bike Rack, assorted Camping Gear, a large Mosquito Tent, Snowboard Gear & a rolling travel bag for your boards, a Badminton Set, and more!

Plus ... Household stuff, Christmas Lights and Ornaments, Clothing (Alpaca Sweater anyone?), Shoes, Jewelry, Framed Art and Paintings... the list goes on.

You say - But if I drag my husband/boyfriend/male friend with me - will there be stuff to satisfy his testosterone-fueled cravings too?

OH. YES.

Can you say Tools? We have Table Saws, Compressors, Nail Guns, Chop Boxes, Drills - the list goes on. How about a chain saw, maybe?

For the Office: a Portable Air Conditioner, Heater, Document Shredder, Swivel Chair, Mini-Fridge, Computer monitor, brandnew Epson Printer, assorted computer accessories, etc...

Finally - loads of automotive stuff and a complete kit to brew your very own batch of beer. Does it really get any better than this? You know it doesn't.

But most importantly - NO CRAP. Only good stuff!

Technically, I should post pics of some of the goodies here - but that would spoil the fun of the hunt, now wouldn't it?



Update - The Monday after: Success! The garage sale rocked. We got rid of a ton of stuff. Amazing, really, the stuff people buy. You'd never thought we were in a recession.... And yet - we still have a bunch of great stuff left. And it has actually encouraged me to pull out even more and do it over. Not sure when though. Stay tuned for an update...
