Sellin' our stuff

This is a queen size head board that we've used for our king sized bed (it's a little short but it works) for the last 15 or so years!  We bought it from the DI and I borrowed a manly sander tool from someone and sanded it all myself as a surprise for Colin.  That was 15 years ago.  Now it's up for sell :)  
Here's the kids hoping all our items will sell.  Many have! It's been a fun project for the kids.  Calvin has headed it up.  It has been quite involved and this is what the kids have done: came up with the prices, cleaned all items for sale, photographed all the items- taking care that the pictures are well lit and centered for marketing purposes.  Then Calvin listed all the items on KSL.  The first batch of stuff he put Colin and my cell numbers on as the contacts, but after that, he switched it to his number, so he's been taking the calls and scheduling times for people to come look at the stuff.  When people come to buy something, the kids help carry the items out to their car, and of course, collect the cash which is the fun part :)  It's been a great project and quite the learning experience.
