I participated in our neighborhood yard sales until my girls were in middle school. They were a great place to get rid of and to find baby equipment and big toys like the Party Kitchen. I also sold stuff in the PennySaver -- car seats, play-cribs, and our bicycle trailer.

At my first yard sale, I was the victim of a two-person team -- while one woman kept me busy, her partner stole stuff off of my table.

I don't bother with them anymore -- I just donate stuff to the Goodwill. It's convenient and I get rid of the stuff on my own schedule.
