The most successful yard sales I know about are those in which the entire neighborhood is involved. With a lot of neighbors working together it becomes a festival and a big draw for a crowd. Even the kids get into the act selling lemonade.

My cellar is just full of stuff ready to get shipped to the local recycling center or to a yard sale. But I'm waiting for the local association... if they don't set a date I may just have to go door to door and suggest the event to my neighbors...
