Extreme Garage Selling: It's A Movement
yardsalesofyork.com

What is extreme garage selling you say? It is hitting up multiple garage sales in a short period of time. Well, one guy has taken it to a whole other level. His name is Michael Schramm and he began to build up an enterprise. He started extreme garage saling and collecting multiple home essentials like couches. He eventually turned to gaming and had an entire room dedicated to video games, gaming systems, etc. He began to sell everything he started to buy while making a profit. The term reseller is what he associates with. Once he gained enough he started to help families in need, by giving them what they needed free of charge--furniture, dish ware, canned goods, etc. He made his living by three words; buy, sell and trade. He says, “It’s never about the money, it’s about helping those in need.

His main point of advertisement is Facebook consign sites where people post pictures of their goods that they try to sell. He ultimately created his own Facebook site called White Picket Fence. This helped boost sales inevitably, especially with videos he would upload of himself presenting what he wanted to sell. His site is unlike others because of the rules he has, that there are no rules! Simply if you want to buy an item you can message that person and buy it. Other sites have inline rules, which means you could be behind someone but a lot of the problem with this are no shows, people who say they want something but don't follow through with it. The no rules policy allows people to sell however they want, and for people to buy however they want. There are no complications.

Today you will see Michael at the Red 9. I know what you’re thinking, that place we would go to to drink and dance? Yes, Red 9 has been closed for almost two years, and now it has been rented as his own dream of a consignment store. Everything you can imagine from art work to Super Nintendo games, he has it, and he can sell it. So do yourself a favor and go check out his store. Not only does he beat everyone's prices in town, but he can sell your unwanted stuff for you for a 70/30 deal. It is taking extreme garage selling to a different level. It is basically a warehouse full of stuff to buy! An indoor garage sale is what he calls it. He also has kids toys and clothes that are solely free will donations for families in need. The best part is how he is changing our community. This is the "borrow a cup of sugar from my neighbor" mentality. This isn't just some consignment store, it's a movement

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
