Yesterday I was sitting here going through the old record albums I bought at the yard sale and wishing I had bought them all. So I called my sister about an hour before dark and asked if she would run back to the yard sale where I bought the records, It was about a half of a mile from her house. She said she would do it. When she got there the sale was closed so she knocked on the door, she said the lady was cooking supper but was happy to come out and get the records. Later she called me and said she got them for me. The lady wanted 5 dollars for them, but my sister knowing what I would do, gave the lady 10 for them.
released 1975
Now bear with me before you say why in the world would she offer more money than the lady told her. Last week we went to this same sale, the lady told us she would be pulling more things out all week and would still have the sale this weekend. She was selling things at the prices that used to be at yard sales, like 25 cents for clothes, when I bought the 11 albums, one being the Woodstock album, she charged me 3 dollars but I gave her 5. I could tell she appreciated it.
After paying for the first records yesterday, we talked while my sister was still looking around. She told me that her husband had passed away and she was having a hard time because he took care of all of the bills and now without his income, she could no longer keep their home and was having to move in with a relative.
This is how things have always worked for me. Several weeks ago I wrote about cleaning my closet and going through all of my old record albums, and how I used to have the Woodstock album and wished that I still had it, now I found one at a yard sale and the lady only wanted 25 cents for it.
released in 1967
Another thing is, my sister in law told me that she has a box of old Elvis albums that she did not know what she was going to do with. I offered to buy them, but she said no she was going to hang onto them, now I have about 20 Elvis albums that I got from the yard sale.
