You want to see something funny? Have your entire store at 75% off and watch the crazyness begin.
Last week we had our moving sale bargains at Meadowland Market. It was the best and busiest 3 days we've had in a long time, except for the fact that everything was 50 or 75 % off. In the three days we even gained new customers. Thursday and Friday were busy days at 50% off. But Saturday topped them all with everything 75% off. I stood at the till all morning long while the lines stretched back to the storage door. People just hauled out junk after junk. It was great entertainment. The best was the order at the end of the day. (Good thing I wasn't in a hurry and in a good mood.) A lady and her friend pull up to the till as the last customers at about 12:10. It took me a good 10 minutes to do their orders. Once I was done with his she was already back finding more stuff. I rang up her extras and he was back finding more. I got those done and he decided he was finished and went out to the car. She happened to find the Texas Hold 'Em electronic games we've had for awhile. She'd put five on the counter, think about it, and put five more. After 20 minutes of debating she finally bought all 30 games we had. At a buck you can't go wrong for Christmas presents! We were trying not to laugh, but didn't succeed very well. I was able to finally shut the doors at 12:45.
This is the last you'll hear from me for a week because we are busy stocking the new store for the GRAND OPENING on Friday and Saturday!

sharon, We enjoyed the mad dash posting...cant wait to visit your new store this summer. I like the pretty new page, but I would suggest changing the font color though...I had to squint the whole time I was reading. Kelly and Samuel
Sharon, the lady is probably going to try and sell them at a garage sale for 2 dollars, I would love to have shopped there myself. Love, Aunt Karen
Sharon, I love your new background. It got me wanting to change mine, so I checked out that website...LOVE IT! I had to come back and check out yours a few more times to get my looking right. Thanks for being my "example". Some day I'd love to come and visit and see your store. It sounds like a lot of fun!
