Ellemm, I'm with you gal. Never again. I had one and had some really great stuff to sell. Hardly used books, great kid's clothes, toys and electronics that were gently used. I found people wanted you to give the stuff away. Instead of one shirt for two bucks, they wanted five. It was ridiculous. Too much work for too little money. Amen!

However, my sister just had one and made close to $300.00. Her trick was she had it when the neighborhood association advertised it as a neighborhood yard sale. She lives in a nice neighborhood where people have neat stuff so I guess that's why tons of people showed up and bought almost everything in sight. She was amazed with the turn-out and shocked by what they made.

They're gearing up to do it again when the neighborhood does it in the fall. She told me I could bring my stuff there, but no thanks. I don't have much stuff. I constantly give it to friends for their families, or to the people who call and ask me to set out a bag every now and then.

I'm saving a few things for an accessory swap my Girls Night Out group is doing. I'll let you know how that goes.
