Lucas's first business.
It's a garage sale, but online, so nobody has to stand in the driveway at 7 a.m. arguing over a dollar.
How this happened
Every family has a garage. Ours filled up with outgrown shoes, soccer cleats from seasons gone by, snow gear, and a 3D printer that would like to be calibrated by somebody new.
Dad looked at the pile and saw money he'd already spent. Lucas looked at the pile and saw a business. They agreed on one thing: it had to go out the door.
So now it's a shop. Lucas runs it. Dad supplied the inventory, mostly by buying all of it in the first place.

Dad's share is 0%, plus his garage back. The money he spent on all this stuff goes back to Lucas, which is where it was going anyway.
The fine print
- Is it really Lucas's business?
- Yes. He's the owner, the brand and the domain name. Dad is head of logistics, which means he carries the heavy things to the car.
- Do you ship?
- No. Pickup only, in Shawnigan Lake. The business has not yet acquired a truck.
- Can I haggle?
- Politely, yes. Every item has a Make an offer button, and fair offers get a yes.
- Who answers my questions?
- An assistant answers the easy ones right away. Anything tricky goes to a human, who replies by email.
- Why is everything a little worn?
- It's a garage sale. If it were new, we'd be a store. The wear is in the description and the photos.
- What happens to things that don't sell?
- The price drops twice, and if it still hasn't found a home, it's donated.
- Can I talk to the owner?
- Write to shop@lucas.biz. The owner has school, so Dad might answer.
