On Saturday, the courtyards of the Ramučiai settlement were revived: after bringing old unused items to their courtyards and public territory, the locals commercialized them. They rated the initiative for the first time as a success and promised to repeat it in the future.
Most of the locals who want to say goodbye to the outdated items culturally gathered on the lawn at the corner of Dvaro and Beržų streets. Evija and her father Robert exchanged their adult clothes here. “We did not come here to earn money, we are willing to give. The sale of the patios was an opportunity to review the closet, select the clothes for the eldest daughter,” said Robertas.
Donata, the toy of a six-year-old son, was no longer used. “We just sold a tape recorder for 2 euros, other toys. The prices are symbolic. We are trying to free up space at home when we give something, ”said the young woman.
Greta Varnaitė-Venskienė exchanged unnecessary items at her garden entrances. Both the clothes and the microwave were available here for 20 euros. Many items were marked with various prices in euros and the inscription: “We are giving away” was displayed in a separate item stack. Hence, a young woman chose a coat for her puppy, after seeing it for her pet. “I was going to shop at the store and I got it for free,” the puppy’s owner rejoiced.
“It is very good to trade and donate. We did not expect this event to be so popular, abundant. We did not manage to bring all the items to the yard when we already sold out or gave half away. One person bought the eight board games, said they would keep one and he would take the others to the orphanage. I sell everything for a few euros, and I did not count how much I sold, it will probably be more than 100 euros, “thought G. Varnaitė-Venskienė, and took out a lot of small bills from his pocket.
A middle-aged man sat on a rug near a collection of badges. “Here you can say my collection and my wife’s. I sell them all for 50 cents each. They have already bought about 100 badges, apparently understanding that people bought them, 20-30 at a time. I have badges with cities Lithuanians, I have American and Soviet insignia, I have sporting achievements, they think, here is 1979. The USSR chess championship badge or this one, for the first place in Lithuania, “Vygintas said. say goodbye to badges. “I see that people are interested in buying and I know those badges will still be around. And with us, they were already stacked in a box somewhere,” the man said.
We did not come here to earn money, we are ready to donate. The yard sale was an opportunity to go through the closet, select the clothes for the eldest daughter.
At the door to the next courtyard, an elegant lady in a hat was trading in antiques and antiques. “All things – I think, I decided to slightly reduce their amount at home. Here is a kettle, a cafeteria, here an ice cream set, a coffee grinder, a fan from Spain, two typewriters that I used to use, another culture that My mother, with whom she grew peas, wore my jewelry – rings. And I brought an armchair and a sofa, I sell it, I don’t need them either, “smiled Eva Dalinkevičienė, a resident of Ramučiai.
On the lawn at the corner of Dvaro and Beržų streets, there were also people selling only new and worn clothes with labels. There were also visitors who came here as a fair, to sell their creative products. “Here are my sister’s braided bracelets of happiness, my metal jewelry and my mother’s knitted bracelets,” said Emilija Mončinskaitboy, a student from Karmėlaviškės who sold her family’s creations at the garage sale.
Away from the intersection of Dvaro and Beržų streets, only one other Ramučiai resident exchanged obsolete items from their yards. On the central street near one of the courtyards, a kiosk decorated with balloons caught my eye from afar. “Two types of homemade lemonade – carbonated and flavored with orange, popcorn, waffles – all for 50 euro cents, everything is made at home. Yesterday we baked a lot of waffles, now there are only three left. Both adults and children bought “Said the brothers Germanas and Patricija, who traded here. The children were happy that people bought these products well, but their adult clothes did not.” Dad sold a few more things; In total, today we earn about 50 euros. Where will we spend the money? I won’t waste my money on that, I keep the ATV, “admitted German.
Along with the children, their father exchanged unnecessary items. “The telescope costs only twenty euros. It is true that it only enlarges the image three times: some lenses are missing “, Rytis was tempted to buy the telescope” almost for nothing “.
According to him, the event was very successful. “Here my sister came up with that garage sale in Ramučiai. She used to live in Canada, things like that have been happening for a long time. The most important thing here is not to earn anything, just ….. The idea here is that everyone in the house tends to accumulate unnecessary things. At such events, some people are happy to get rid of unnecessary items, others to buy them cheaply. It is fun for both children and adults here, “said Rytis.
