Get the Sales Associates Have To Be Security Guards For Police Officer, Y Esta Redundancia.?!.mug. "The desirability of and/or your need for an item at a garage sale will be in direct inverse proportion to the likelihood of your actually being able to purchase it."
The four most common/infuriating occasions when Murphy's Law of Garage Sales holds true:
(1) A desired item is something that's just stored in the family's garage; it’s not one of the items for sale.
(2) The item has already been sold, and the homeowner is just “holding” it till the buyer gets back with either the money or a vehicle to transport the item to his own home.
(3) The item is too expensive, and the seller will not budge on the price. (Note: this is not always an "all hope is lost" situation --- you may have at least two additional options. First, try coming back again later in the day to see if the item is still unsold --- if YOU think that the item is overpriced, then most OTHER yard-sailers may think so, too, and so nobody else may have bought the item yet, either, giving you a second crack at possibly purchasing it at a reduced price, especially since by now the seller may likely feel a bit "desperate" to get rid of it. And second, have a glance at the trash-heap out front of the person’s house that evening --- sometimes unsold yard-sale items will simply be tossed out, and so you can then get them for free.)
(4) The item is something that you would logically want to test out first to make sure it operates satisfactorily, but there is no hookup for electricity/water/telephone/internet/antenna/audio/video at the site of the sale, and the stubborn owner will not allow you to either bring the item into his house or temporarily take it somewhere else to test it.

Get the Saledmug. The Sales & Marketing Director is an individual that spends an exorbitant amount of time contemplating marketing & selling. Whilst not actually understanding the product. But manages to actively sell himself with pretty line charts, inventing facts and interfering with things he neither understands nor is within his remit. Trying to make himself look good by making others look bad.
“The new Sales guy has started! We have been told he is our last, best hope! He is the Sales & Marketing Director”. Only to hear in reply “oh this guy with the pretty line charts & post it notes? He can’t sell for toffee, let alone count… spends all his time interfering in what doesn’t concern him, is about a disappointing as Luke Skywalker in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and I have heard their is another…”
