Boy, you received some really bright responses to your question, here! (I actually made a suggestion to Yahoo yesterday that could help to improve the quality of some of the answers we receive. Some are blatantly offensive, but many are just nonsensical, and it wastes time sifting through them!)

Anyway, I&#039;ll give you some genuine suggestions:

1. Use a large dry erase board rather than signs to direct people around the yard, indicate where the cashier is, notify of sales, etc. You can use mini ones from the dollar store on individual tables to indicate prices (Everything on this table $1.00, for instance).

2. Bunch small or related items together, and sell them in plastic carry containers from the dollar store, or even from containers around your house. You can raise the price a bit, as they&#039;re getting two or more items in one!

3. Use clean and sanitary paper boxes (tissue boxes, cereal boxes) or washed out jars to group and carry small items for people to bring home, rather than using plastic bags

4. Get display cartons and cardboard boxes from the supermarket for people to carry larger items home in

5. If you serve food/drinks, use paper, not plastic

6. Re-sell or donate clothes and rags. They&#039;ll take up less room in a landfill, and everyone has a use for something, even if it&#039;s not immediately apparent

7. Give a little discount or gift to anyone who comes on foot, by bike, etc (rather than by car). If you can&#039;t do a discount, a little candle, mini photo album, etc is a nice gesture

8. If you have plastic water jugs (the large ones, not ones you have drunk from), put them on the &quot;Free&quot; table. Someone may have a use for them.

9. If you need to fertilize or use grub killer on your lawn, don&#039;t do so before the sale. Some people are very sensitive to it. Better yet, seek out healthier alternatives

10. Make sure to take down any signs you&#039;ve hung up around town, and place in the recycle bin</description>

Use a green tent to shade you from the sun. You don&#039;t want to get sunburn.

Sorry but this eco/green stuff is a pile of crap. I **** the &quot;energy saving&quot; light bulbs.</description>
