What if you held an auction....

...and nobody came?

Well last night was a bust! Nobody came.

Poor Greg. I felt bad for him, but he accepted that he'd screwed up the advertising. Too little, too late. There was a little radio advertising. He missed the deadline for one paper, forgot to put the time in the other ad. The flyers that were (supposedly) delivered to businesses in the mail - well he checked with his neighbours and only one of them had gotten it.

So there was no shortage of helpers, but only 2-3 customers. Guess we'll try again tonight although I don't see how it will be any different. He was talking about renting a truck and taking everything to an auction house, but I don't know for sure what the new plan is.

The only thing I know for sure is - it's NOT ALL COMING BACK TO OUR HOUSE!!

oh... i'm sorry to hear that!
but you're right... IT CAN'T COME BACK TO YOUR HOUSE!!!

maybe an auction house is a simpler way to deal with the stuff anyway?

That's really too bad! That must suck?

So, what kind of stuff does he have to get rid of? I am looking for another laptop, without VISTA and a desk top without Vista.

I hope he is sucessful in getting rid of it all!
