OK, let me figure this out:
We made about $210 at the yard sale today, between myself and my mother.
We paid about $50 for the newspaper ad and sign supplies.
210-50=160
The sale went for six hours today. We spent two hours this morning getting ready. We spent another hour breaking down and covering things for the next day. We spent about four hours the previous evening putting things out. And, let's be really conservative and say we spent four hours gathering all of the stuff.
6+2+1+4+4=17
So 160/2=80. We each netted $80 today.
And 80/17=4.70
What? I busted my ass for $4.70 an hour? This, friends, is why the wine at dinner was accompanied by a solemn pledge, "Never, never, never have another yard sale."
