Not long ago,charles Erickson and his family decided to do some spring housecleaning.Sorting through their possessions,they came up with some 1.500 old .unwanted items-all sorts of things they wanted to get rid of .The Ericksons decided to do what a lot of other Americans are doing these days-have a "garage sale".They posted homemade signs throughout the neighborhood,ran an advertisement in the local newspaper,then set out the unwanted objects on the front yard of their home in Bloomfield Hills,Michigan,and waited to see if any one would come.The Ericksons needn't have worried.Eager buyers bought all but 50 of the items in one weekend,leaving the family $442 richer.
