Now's a great time for a yard sale !

A woman on my local non-DU forum, 'Next Door', thinks now is a good time for her to hold a yard sale.

"So many people being told to not come to work, having nothing to do.

Get out of the house.
Get some fresh air.
Meet your neighbors.
Buy my stuff."

Seller: "I am asking 20 rolls of toilet paper for that vanity." Potential buyer: "well, it has some scratches on the side." Seller: "yeah, how about 18 rolls?" Potential buyer: "this drawer is a bit loose and somewhat off and I would have to fix it." Seller: "well I can accept 14 rolls but no less." Potential buyer: "I can do that, now, is that with or without being sanitized before pick up?"

Nothing much else to do around the home, so take photos and sell the stuff. Then package up and leave on porch for delivery driver to collect and then deliver.

But that's a maybe because that is probably putting some people at risk still.
