In the neighborhood of the house upon which we made an offer , the association had apparently declared Yard Sale Day , so I stopped at a few , but nobody was selling anything I wanted , except four old , stout dining room chairs we do n't have room for . I bought nothing , and returned home . I ate a big lunch .

Based on the preceding passage, answer the following question Why did I stop at a few of the yard sales ?
I wanted to buy something for my house .
