Anyways I put the ad up and people kept texting/calling/emailing me to see if they could come a day early, or an hour early to check out the garage sale. I got tired of telling them no, so I just put at the bottom of the ad "please don't ask to come early, it's unfair to other people and honestly if I wanted to open at 7am instead of 8am - I would do that. And no I don't want some random person in my garage at midnight the night before (that's when we set up).
Last time I put that in the ad (last April) people actually applauded me for it - because they hated that and they actually took the effort to go from sale to sale looking at stuff. I'm all about that spirit, not about being lazy and calling me to see if I have X or Y or can hold this.
This time however - some doucher actually texted me a freakin essay (I'll reassemble it) about how I'm the bad guy for saying don't ask to come early:
