9. If you lived in my neighborhood...
The flea market vendors usually stop by in the late afternoon or spy on you until they see you packing up. Then they offer you a certain amount to take everything you have away. One neighbor made about $50 in two days but some guy stopped by as she was packing up and offered to take everything away for $100 All the clothes, old records, books, lamps, pots and pans, etc. She told the guy yes, he gave her $100 cash and she didn't have to pack the stuff up for another day and never had to see any of it again.
