Today I set to new (bad) personal records: the most I've spent on any individual garage sale item and the most I've spent in a day garage saling.
I spent $21.10 total: $1 on a book I have listed on Amazon, $0.10 for another book listed on Amazon, and $20 for a wifi-only Kindle 3 (also known as the Kindle Keyboard).
The Kindle was a little unfortunate. I found it and didn't intend to purchase it; I decided to ask the seller for the price just for my own curiosity. He told me $50 so I countered with $20 just to see his counter but he immediately accepted $20. Given how rapidly he accepted my offer; I'm sure he would have taken $10. I have it listed on Craigslist for $80 and I'll see how much I can get for it. I estimate someone actually paying me $50-$60 for it. If nothing else I can list it on Amazon; they start at $88 which means I'll get around $65 after fees and shipping.
