Maybe she is selling something not normally sold at garage sales..

It seemed to be just the normal junk from the photos. Maybe I'm the one who is out of touch and the meaning has changed....

It could be, I was thinking of the old kissing booths all the fairs had years ago where you got a kiss for a quarter. So I thought she was selling kisses with the XXXX stuff..

I change it every once in awhile. I noticed you did too and changed your screen name too. That is one of my females who won a champion. Just as I went to take her profile she turned her head towards me.

The ad also says "You CANNOT buy this kind of hand-built quality at your local farm store" now I'm not one to generally knock others building skills and it's a practical design, but lets be realistic the coop is a square box made from OSB and furring strips, some of the cheapest building materials available, painted or not that OSB will not stand up long term to exposure...

And I'm not knocking it for build practicality or build cost, but I wouldn't call it hand built quality that rivals what you can buy as I have seen some very decent (albeit costly) commercial coop kits that use better materials...
