Final Edit
Callie Gates tapes together salt and pepper shakers before pricing them for the garage sale she and her husband, Daniel Gates, are preparing to host the next day. The Gates, who have been married almost two years, have never held a garage sale before but decided to organize one before they moved across town from their 3505 Chapel Hill Rd address. “We don’t want to move with all this stuff,” said Callie Gates.
Daniel Gates and his brother, Bryan Gates, carry a reclining chair out to the driveway in the early morning. The sale was sheduled to run 7 a.m. to noon, Saturday, September 11, 2010. Despite the schedule published in the Columbia Tribune and on the posted notices around the neighborhood, devoted shoppers began arriving around 6:15 and stragglers continued arriving into the afternoon.

Daniel and Callie Gates move a sold sofa into the garage to protect it from looming rainclouds until its new owner returns with a vehicle large enough to haul it home. They sold several furniture items during their garage sale, inlcuding sofas, recliners, and a kitchen table and chairs. “We are buying new furniture for the new house,” said Callie.
