Summertime is yard sale season
It’s that time of year again - Yard Sale Season! Despite its name, such sales rarely have anything to do with a land transaction, but more to do with selling items placed out on a lawn to sell to almost anyone passing by with the right amount of cash in hand. This festive season offers a special temptation for bargain shoppers who love to experience the ageless tradition of haggling – or negotiating as it is called in more polite circles – over the fine points of a particular item’s sale price. There are few better opportunities for price negotiations than those presented during peak yard sale season events, say experts such as Lorado Andears, owner of the Arrowhead Motel on National Road in Morristown, Belmont County. Andears is a lifelong fan of yard sales, and has become one of the strongest supporters of the now annual National Road Yard Sale held in communities across Belmont County during the annual National Pike Festival.
