Well, today we got one baby step closer to full timing and completed our 1st garage sale. Now we are sitting back watching the Live Earth concert and enjoying a beer. We started early Friday morning and had steady traffic flow throughout the day, selling about 3/4 of our stuff. There was much less traffic today, but still sold quite a few things.
It feels really good to be rid of stuff that clutters your life.
I would recommend that anyone planning a garage sale read George Stoltz article on the rv-dreams magazine - http://www.rv-dreams-lifestyles.com/articles/45/1/Planning-The-Garage-Sale/Page1.html. We followed his suggestions to a tee and things went extremely well plus we made some extra cash to be added to the 'fulltiming' fund. Thanks George!

I went back and read George's post and that's about how we had our sales. We had collected quality antiques and collectibles for years and it took 4 sales to part with the stuff we wanted to.(We still have a storage locker full of "stuff" we could not part with yet.)
About the only difference was is we called them Estate Sales. After all, it was our estate we were selling off.
When our home sold the buyer wanted 90 days closing and we were more than happy to comply in order to have the 4 sales.
We were very lucky that we sold almost everything that we wanted to at each of the sales.
It's about a year now and do not regret a thing.
Life is great !!!
