At 8:15 you were probably too late. The crowd gathers around 7:00 or earlier. If you have items that have not sold by 10:30 they most likey will not sell.
Some advice when conducting your sale. Have several friends help and watch the crowd. It is better to open the garage 15-30 minutes earlier that the start time and have a steady flow of people.....if you wait there may be 20-30 people in the garage at one time. There will be items that grow little feet and walk out the door(yes even in The Villages).
Two day sales are probably not worth your time and effort on the second day.
