5 minute freewrite prompt better late than never

This is my post for #freewriters Monday prompt better late than never hosted by @marieannewest

This morning I loaded what people did not take from the yard sale into my truck and took it to a thrift store, it was closed until Thursday so I went to another one and they said that they had way too much going on to take it. I ended up taking it to Goodwill, which I do not like. They get things for free and charge more than WalMart charges. Once, I was looking for Christmas cups and they had some that you get as a gift set, like with cocoa or tea. They wanted 3.99 for each cup and they were not old. Anyway, they took everything except the rolltop desk, and they set it off to the side with a bunch of other furniture that they thought was too cheap for them to sell, the guy said all of that furniture is to go to the landfill.

This leads me to think, there is not a used furniture store in my town or nearby that people can afford to shop at. Now I know that I do not have the money to open a store, but if I could get a shed big enough to work from, I could refurbish furniture like the desk, a little sanding and varnish would make it look like new and sell them on the yard sale sites.

Never think that you are too old to start a new business, it's better late than never. I know that if it is meant for me to do this, things will start coming to me for it, it has always happened like that.

Also about the yard sale, I still have bags and bags of clothes. My husband knows a man whose wife still lives in Mexico and he works here. She has a thrift store and he takes things to her. I will find out tomorrow if he wants the clothes. Now what to do with the books....

I hope you will find away to sort out the cloth and also the book. That is a nice idea to try to refurbish the furniture.

Books are a difficult thing to sell. Take it from a librarian who can't offload discarded and donated books we don't need. Mass-market paperbacks are worthless. Hardbacks in good condition might find a buyer, but online sales might be your best bet, and that's a chore and a half for small return. Non'fiction has a niche, but old textbooks and encyclopedias are little more than firestarter unless you can find some homeschoolers who might need them.

When my mother passed she left hundreds of religious books and my sister donated them to a prison. Look at this book that I found, it must have belonged to my son, who played this game.

back then it was 2 dollars which was a lot for a book.

A D&D book is likely to have a collector market! Heck, there might be gamers here on HIVE who would want it!

My granddaughter plays it, I am going to ask her if she wants it. I showed it to you because I thought you told me that you played and I thought it was cool to find the book from the 80's. It might have been one of my son's book, he played it when he was a teen.
