Now, your son knows all about "mark-up" and how stores make profits.<br /><br />@Kimberly -- Sounds like your boys got some great business lessons straight from the source. My boys would be jealous to hear about their garage sales. They totally want to do that, but I'm not crazy about having to clean out the garage. :P<br /><br />@Anonymous -- What's in it for us?Jennifer Finkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568576650343979230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473387128642021993.post-67728798976847412002010-04-19T17:28:40.294-05:002010-04-19T17:28:40.294-05:00I'm increasing my demands from yesterday.

The boys' fav game was having some business troubles, making it hard to buy new stuff and the older things where on clearance. Our friend told he boys about the companies and how they work and the choices they made awhile ago that led to their current problems. They have done their own garage sales (where they planned, priced, did everything on their own, even customer haggling) Gavin hopes to be able to sell some tomatoes at the farmers market if he gets extras on his plants.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771682280188836517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473387128642021993.post-24445112128869740902010-04-19T09:55:10.882-05:002010-04-19T09:55:10.882-05:00So funny you bring this up.

Just this weekend, though, in an attempt to raise a little more money for his goal of a new bike, SJ borrowed $20 from himself to buy a box of Skittles that cost $.49 per package. He sold them for $1 at our yard sale. He was thrilled when he did the math. Not so thrilled when he had to pay himself back his initial investment. But it was a start. I love the idea of a tulip sale. I had so many people ask about my irises this weekend, we could have sold dozens. Perhaps I will suggest it...Carrie Anne Schmeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345303424053526414noreply@blogger.com
