Yard sale time today here.........

wow a great start to the morning already now just remember try not to spend it all

hi maria. good for you then. it seems you will be able to sell all your items and make quite a profit. i think hagglers will be around your yard sale. these people are always looking for a good deal and would always try to get the lowest possible price so you really have to stand your ground and be firm with the prices that you have set. really no sense in having a yard sale and selling items at a loss of profit. you would be better off donating these items to charity. again good luck and keep us updated. cheers!!!

I am actually excited for you and I wish I was there, to enjoy your happiness, if I lived near you I'd come and volunteer my services, many hands and all that, I wish you continued success, and hopefully you can double your money! (sounds like a quiz show 'double your money')

That is a great way to start. It is still early and I bet you will be swamped when people get out of church. It is a good idea to keep you r prices low so that things will sell. Who wants to pack them back up :)

See, I knew you would do good at that yard sale. I hope you made out real good. And I do hope that you and your sone had a good time doing it. Those yard sales can be fun and sometimes stressful.

I noticed this many times, they try to bargain. I would too if they are willing to drop the price.

Congrats on the 23$! I did a few yard sale myself back in the days, most of them went well and i agree there are always those people who just love bargaining and you have to drop the prices even when it is super cheap already. Anyways, Hope the rest of the day went well. :]

That's great! I gave up doing yard sales-setting up makes me too tired, and I just want to sleep in the next day instead of having the sale.

Thats great.its already a success even if its not yet the end of the day.congrats.

I don't go to yard sales where I live as the prices are waay too high and they are not willing to drop the prices. I liked going to them in the US though and U.K. You have done well and I hope that the day is very successful for you. What kinds of items are you selling?

That's great to hear. Yard sales are always a great way to make some extra cash from the stuff that are sometimes just lying around. I too have yard sales about 8-6 months interval. I buy stuff from other yard sales and sell it in mine making little bit profit each time.

I`d have a lot of fun at yard sales in Mexico if they sell there some talavera from Puebla and other such beautiful things. I have a wall in my living room where I display ceramic dishes from Mexico and Spain mainly. Luck with your sale, Marìa.

That was a good start! So how was it the whole time? Were you able to sell a lot of your stuff? Did it encourage you to do this more often?

was this the one we were talking about??? Wow.. told you you will make it... congratulations

That's why it is better to mark the prices up a bit higher, so that you have room for negotiation. You still end up getting the price you want, and the people come away feeling like they have gotten a good deal.

It's still winter where I live so it's not really the right time for garage sales or yard sales but once the snow melts and it gets warmer outside me and my family definitely need to have a garage sale. My girlfriend and I are moving at the end of the summer and we are traveling across country so we are trying to get rid of all the unnecessary stuff that we have. We're hoping that we can make a decent amount of money from it as well so that way we'll have more funds for moving.

Getting rid of stuff can be very liberating, making money off of it is even better Hope you had a good sale. I've been to a few yard sales and found treasures here and there. It's fun to make a day of it. They are popular in the summer months here so looking forward to them!

That is great that you made a lot of money and are going to reinvest it into more items to sell. The weather is warming up and I am hoping to find some garage sales soon so I can buy some jewelry and hopefully some fabric. I love to pull necklaces apart and restring them into something else. I am also going to look for old jeans so I can make them into handbags and use the pockets to make holders for my jewelry and maybe some smaller purses for kids.

HI Maria! Having a yard sale can be fun. Word gets around fast and I am sure people will be flocking in your place in a matter of a few minutes.

Wow. In our place, theres this event where people do yard sales every friday and saturday night. They sell clothes, foods and even some cute puppies! They prices are reasonable and very affordable! I even bought some new dresses too! In our place you can buy a nice dress for only 1.50-2 dollars!
