Not a yard sale but one large employer permitted their employees to informally sell used things here and there. When I worked for the organization, one could post via an internal database such stuff. I had a list of used books, which I sold off for $1 each over a period 2 wks. I ended up selling off 40 books this way. It was interesting because I met employees I never knew before and could see which ones were the bookworms.

Under those circumstances, one would not get employees in a workplace negotiating hard to bring pricing down.

Of course, I had to bike to work with the books that were ordered. But good exercise. smile
