we had 'yard sales' when both my parents and later my in-laws passed to get rid of what no one wanted

after doing it twice I wouldn't bother again...it's a lot of time for short money...but if you're looking for something to do, give it a try

you'll meet a lot of people and you'll have a few interesting conversations...the dealers and resellers come early to pick over 'the good stuff'...then the bargain hunters come that are truly looking for something....last are the folks that have nothing better to do and are just out for a ride....it does get crazy when there's a lot of people, so have a couple of friends helping you and have someone assigned to the cash box....you'll need to go to the bank and get a couple rolls of quarters and a stack of 'ones'....as people will try to give you a $20 bill for something you marked at 75 cents....price the stuff to sell, remember no one in the family wanted it

good luck
