Favorite activity besides junking:
motorcycling. Did you know you can junk on a motorcycle, though?! You just have to have understanding friends and a map back.
Would save if the workshop were on fire:

Three words that describe you:
hoarders in training
Three words that describe your product:

When you found it, you knew it would sell immediately:

We wish you safe passage as you travel to the Bonanza, boyfriends/haulers in tow!
