I have a neighbor who holds yard sales regularly. She has a couple of outbuildings where she keeps the stuff she and her husband collect stuff to sell. Plus she has six kids so there are always a lot of clothes and shoes they've grown out of.
I went over there today and bought a new keyboard, a lazy susan, and decorative cast iron tissue holder.
How about you? Do you hold yard sales or visit them?

I love to go to yard sales and thrift stores, but I don't have much luck selling at my own yard sales.

Sometimes I think of doing a yard sale but it would be stuff I already want to get rid of so I usually just end up donating it rather than go to all that trouble.

@clrumfelt That's what I often do. I'd rather donate it to the Salvation Army.

That's easier than holding a yard sale. Yard sales are rarer than they used to be around here too. Lots of people put their goods on the Buy, Sell and Trade site for our county.

Yard saling can be an art! Sounds like you're really making it pay!

That sounds like fun! I usually just stop spontaneously when I see one. I haven't ever really planned to go yard saling.

i don't hold yard sales but I do like going to them. You can get some pretty awesome deals. My sisters go to them every week. They were showing me all their yard sale finds when I was up there last weekend. I couldn't believe all the great deal they got.

Some people make a hobby of shopping yard sales every weekend. My brother-in-law found a really rare guitar at one once and he made a lot of money by selling it to one of his co-workers.

No I couldn't be bothered to have a yard sale - they are rare in England anyway. We have carboot sales where people with things to sell gather on a field and sell them out of their cars, or put up trestle tables. The only time I visit a carboot sale is if I need some plants.
