In reply to Pam. Thank you. One tip I might add. I always add pictures to my yard sale post and without fail people will always try to buy anything worthwhile beforehand. Leaving me with all the hot stuff gone and when the sale starts and people show up and ask where is that nice table and lamps etc. Its embarrassing to start a yard sale with just a pile of used socks and all the items actually sold the day before.

Best yard sale I ever had was when my dog had a litter of pups I gave them away one a first come basis while they
last.

With the instrustions, free need their shots, if it does not work out bring them back. Only one was returned!!

I work at a thrift store and it would be very much appreciated if you would remove all price stickers. Thank you

In reply to Barb. I believe it is a term when a company is selling the content of a home and they charge a fee to tag every item before the sale starts. That is in the NY metropolitan area.

Everyone needs to remember that the difference between Garage sale and a Garbage sale is just one letter, it is a fine line that is easily crossed.
The worst thing you can do is set up a sale that has nothing but plain old crap in it!
My wife and I have had some very successful sales having employed most of the same ideas you listed, one of the big boosts for us was to set up a big 40 cup coffee urn, paper cups, cream and sugar. Then my wife walks around with freshly baked, still warm cookies. Makes people stay and shop, makes them feel obligated too!

In reply to Pam. No joke there is a lady in our neighborhood that constantly garage sales and she tries to sell her things at ebay prices. She even tells you no I won't take less than x amount because that is what they are selling on ebay for. There is a lot more work involved to sell something on ebay vs a garage sale.
