Damned if you do... Damned if you don't.

I'm selling a lot of stuff tomorrow. I realize that I have so many things that I have never even touched in the 4 years I have lived in Oregon, so clearly they would be better off in someone else's hands. Plus the hand-me-down furniture from my mom, while super-cute, has never really been my taste. So I'm taking this as a good opportunity to lighten my load a bit before the move down I-5.

I have listed a few things on Craigslist in anticipation of the garage sale tomorrow, and I am stumped as to how I should be pricing things. I decided to price dirt-cheap because I need things to be gone and I didn't want to scare anyone away with too-high prices. I figure: people will see a really great deal and jump on it. Better scenario than: people think it costs too much do not bother following up on it. But what has happened? I have people wanting to haggle me down even lower. I want to say, "Dude, I'm selling this 9' x 6' wool rug that originally cost $150 for $25. You're ALREADY getting a deal..." So maybe I should have priced higher so that people can THINK they're getting a better deal when I drop it lower for them? That is why I hate car salesmen, though. I don't really want to be like that.

In other news, I went to get some shoes resoled only to find out that they are pretty much a loss (I should have gone in sooner, but I wore them down too much). BUT the shoe guy suggested this to me. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm excited to see if it works. Wow, my life is sad if I'm getting excited about a product called "Shoe Goo." Note to my sister: this seems like something George could be into...
