Maybur asked:


My friend and I are gonna hold a garage/yard/rummage sale next month for fun and to make a little money. I was wondering if you have any tips for me? I go to these alot with my aunt, but I haven't done my own in a while, since I was a little kid. We were thinking to sell lemonade/water/koolaid and I thought maybe even muffins or cookies for 50 cents, or a bag of cookies for a couple dollars. I'm going to ask my family and a couple of my close friends to give me any stuff they want to get rid of, and I hope my friend will too, so it should be a big variety of stuff. We can figure out how to organize it all, so that's not a big deal, but what are some special fun and unique things we can do that will have people coming by the dozens and buy loads of stuff? Anything is appreciated!

My subdivision is doing a garage sale tommorw. We are lucky as we are the first house people will see as they drive up. We have various items such as a baby funiture, baby cloths, men's cloths, kitchen stuffs, name brand women's shoes, and such.

I have never done garage sale before. How do I make most money out of garage sale? Any experience garage sale household?

We're planning to sell soda since it's going to be pretty warm tomorrow. Do you think that is a good idea?

I want to have a garage sale, but don't want to pay to rent tables. I've never had a garage sale before... is there some place I can borrow tables and clothing racks from for free or really cheap?
