They're popular here! I can't wait to have one. We've got a couple of boxes of things plus TONS of the kids' toys to sell. I usually get together with my sister and we do a big one.

I've never had one. Shopped at them, helped others, but never myself. They're so much work! We have a whole room overtaken by things I had planned to sell, and will probably just end up donating them instead. Why? I hate making all those stickers! Perhaps if someone has some easy ideas on how to do it, it would be worth it, but 8 bags of clothes and more still to add to it, and it's too much!

Some sales I have seen. Have all clothes a Quarter each. Or a bag of clothes for $5.00. Or along those lines. And you can have a rack of exceptions. Like Fromal dresses and such. And as fo kninck knacks. You can group them as well. So just a few ideas for you.

We do one every summer to benefit the animal shelter. We don't tag anything. We say, just put in the box what you want. People are so generous. We usually make 5-600 in one weekend.

For those who don't want to do a yard sale, all of our stuff is donated by folks who don't want to do their own. Maybe a local group could really use your goodies!!

I dont mind going to yard sell's but I will never again have one I dont know what people are looking for you get really snobby people rumaging through your things like there trash and then offering 2 dollars for something that is a year old and cost you a 100 you have to get up so early and then haul everything back in and then do it agian the next day and you have to pay to advertise often more than you are going to make its just not worth it to me I donate all of our good used things to a womens abuse shelter here in town for women who have lefted abusive marriages with nothing but the clothes on there backs.
