or call it an estate sale - sounds more interesting
useful items no longer needed
alongside cracked vases, old books, disliked clothes
board games with pieces missing
knickknacks flip flops
grandma’s heirloom that really isn’t
carnival glass worth real money - in demand by collectors
for a song of course
sales frequented by men asking if you have any guns for sale
or guys who say their son is starting
a baseball card collection
if you have any old baseball cards you want to quote unquote
‘get rid’ of
or the guy who asks if you have any gold you want to sell
like gold jewelry
says he pays top dollar…uh-huh
or guys looking to buy quality tools for pennies on the dollar
or looking for good ‘military’ items ////cheap of course
people who say they’re shopping for a ‘poor family’
who want you to practically give away your things to them
all of the aforementioned looking to take advantage of you
like you had just stepped off the boat and into the garage
