Sometimes laughter opens wallets

Join Wimberley humorist Susan Rigby as she attempts to navigate “the small stuff.”

I have been working on getting rid of “stuff” I’ve had for years and not used. After writing ad after ad and getting minor results, I got a little punchy and started adding humor to my descriptions. I ended up having fun with it. One person said they bought my item because my ad made him laugh. He asked if I could help him write his ads. Could this be a new business? The following are some of my ads.

Exercise Step Due to getting lazy, I am selling my exercise step. Like new, since it seemed to prefer living under my bed than having me step on it. It might like your feet better.

Regalware - Three saucepans and a skillet with lids. The saucepans are in great condition, but the skillet has some burnt-on grease or something due to my cooking philosophy, “If it’s not black, it’s not done.” This ad was covertly written by the skillet.

Two-Room Tent Never used. Got intimidated when I read that it goes up in 10 minutes. I can’t even figure out how to put the batteries in my camping lantern in that amount of time. This tent needs to belong to someone with more confidence.

Pasta Maker - I don’t know what I was thinking. Never used looks like an old wringer washer, which I also bought — and sold without using. I would keep it if I could figure out how to make it into a planter. Perfect for just about anyone but me.

Easy Up Gazebo - Never used but all of the pieces are now in two large garbage bags. I am working on trying to iron smooth and tape back together the impossible- to-follow directions. Cheap!

Home Sushi Maker - I’ve decided I like store-bought Sushi more than trying to decipher the ingredients needed or figure out how to use the items in the Sushi-Maker box. Brand new and easy to use if you watch the video tutorial a few times. Great date night fun. Very cheap.
