I woke up waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too early this morning. Since I was awake, I started setting up, though I had about five hours before the garage sale actually started.
A couple of my neighbors came over to help, for which I was very glad, especially when some guy starting rooting through the jewelry, and one of my neighbors said, "That's real, we're not selling that" and the guy insisted it wasn't.
So, my neighbors took the huge box of jewelry in the house, and sat at the kitchen table testing to see what was gold and what wasn't with a magnet, and every once in a while one of my neighbors would come out and bring a handful of "fake" stuff with her to put back in the sale.
So, I wound up making around a hundred dollars, Haven't officially counted it yet--just kind of flipped through) and met some nice folks -- thankfully, folks that were really patient, too, as I fumbled some with the change.

I am fairly certain I will ! Though it might be a bit difficult, I'm going to try to stay up until my normal time (evidently went to bed too early last night) so that, again hopefully, my sleep pattern will even out.

you should check your jewelry before you put them for the garage sale
