A. Sell your stuff at a good price. People aren't going to pay high prices for your junk. Talk to people. Say hi. Ask them if they're looking for anything. Tell them everything is negotiable. Don't stack stuff. People don't want to go sorting. Use craigslist and have lots of signs to promote.

A. It all depends on the area you live in. The ones around here start around 8 A.M. and end whenever the customers stop coming. We rarely have them on Sundays. But, where my sister lives, they have them on Sundays all the time.My mom lives in Florida, and they go to the sales starting at 6A.M. I guess its whatever suits you, just advertise your hours so people know.Also, keep it open so working people can stop by after work. You will get a lot of business then.

How much to sell baby clothes at yard sale?
Q. I am planning on having a yard sale soon and I have alot of baby clothes to sell. I do not want to sell them on Ebay so I was wondering what price to sell them at the yard sale. I sold some baby clothes 2 years ago for $1.00 each and a lady thought that was too expensive. I was thinking .50 for them. Is that a good price? Need some opinions. Thanks!

A. If you are having it more than one day I would start maybe at $1.00 the first day for the name brand/expensive clothes, $0.50 the next or then if someone asks you if you'll take $0.50 for them accept it. For all the non-name brand stuff I would say $0.25-$0.50.

A. You can hang the dresses on a nearby tree, or set up a ladder and hang them. Best advice: have one or two friends to help you at your yard sale. If you get several customers milling around your yard, you'll appreciate the extra eyes to make sure no one goes where they're not supposed to. Put your big ticket items (things that you expect to sell/popular) nearer to the road so that people will see them as they drive by and be tempted to stop. Have everything on tables.

A. 1. Start off organized. Sort all of your items into categories (sort kids' clothes into boy/girl, infant, toddler, etc.). Evaluate every item, and throw away the stuff that is really junk. 2. Buy neon colored price tags at Walmart. Don't price too low, but don't price too high, either. I price everything as I sort. 3. Be ready to display. Boxes DON'T work for display. Get poles to hang things on; have tables, or sawhorses and plywood. Spread things out. 4. Advertise--run an ad in your paper or Shopper's Guide, but make it stand out. Write it in limerick form!

Where do I go to get a yard sale permit?
Q. I live in Montgomery County, MD. There is a large patch of grass outside of my townhouse development that appears to be public property. It would be a great place for a yard sale. Where would I go to get a permit?
Asked by KimberlyJ - Wed Feb 13 12:25:17 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. "townhouse development" = homeowner's association = busybodies who will try to stop you "for lowering their property values" "public property" - there's no such thing, else you could just use it without a permit. It's government property, and you need to find out from that government whether it will deign to let you sell there. Don't write to Yahoo Answers when a call to City Hall will give a more accurate answer. Here in rural Ohio, when we want to have a yard sale, we just have one. You could do that too, and then play ignorant when the cops come. It's always easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

When you write be sure to make it neat and large enough for people to read easily. Post one sign in your yard and then at any intersections/stop signs in your area. You can also advertise the sale on craigslist or at any local community bulletin boards (grocery stores, restaurants, library).

How much should infant/toddler clothes cost at a yard sale?

Q. We've had yard sales before so I do know what to do, but now we also have 3 kids and all the junk that goes along with having kids: toys galore!! I'm looking for tips on organizing this yard sale as efficiently as possible, especially since our sale items will have to still be in our house till warmer weather. Ideas? Believe me, I have totes/bins GALORE!!! I guess my biggest problem is organizing while having 3 kids in the home!

A. Bins Bins Bins... I have several bins that I use that are stored in the basement/garage. When something gets regulated for donation or the yard sale it goes in the appropriate bin. I have 5 currently marked: Kitchen, Toys, Clothes, Shoes, Misc. (I actually have 3 bins for toys) the biggest mistake made at yard sales with toys is that people forget about the "little"parts that make the toy workable.. I make sure batteries are removed so the toy doesn't get destroyed and if there are little parts I tape the part to the toy and if it fits in a ziplock bag it the whole thing goes in the bag... Hope this helps! Edit: Once something goes in the bin, it is off limits, I solved the problem with my son by having him help me. I let him… [cont.]

Any tips on having a successful yard sale?
Q. We have moved 3 times in the past 4 years, so we've built up quite a bit of stuff that we have no use for anymore. Furniture that match the decor, window treatments that don't fit, etc... Any tips for a yard sale that will be a success?

A. 1) Have the yardsale on a sunny Saturday from around 9am - 3pm 2) Pick a spot that gets a lot of traffic driving by if possible 3) Advertise the yard sale on craigslist once every 24 hours for a few days before the sale 4) Hang large flouresecent signs at nearby intersections pointing to the yard sale 5) Try and get neighbors to also have a yard sale the same day and advertise as "multi-family" 6) Get a lot of people to help out and park their cars in the driveway to give the appearance of a busy place. People attract people.

How much do serving silver dishes sell for at a yard sale?
Q. They are in pretty good shape and there are many different kinds like trays, candleholders, plates, and many more. So if I wanted to sell them at a yard sale what should the price be?
Asked by fatimoini - Fri Mar 23 08:12:02 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Are they just silver toned, or are they silver plated? Either way, you should be able to get more than $1 each for them if they are in good condition. If they are silver plated, then you should be able to get quite a bit more. It really depends on what people are willing to pay where you live. You can always stick a price on there a little higher than what you think you may get, and then tell anyone who looks at the items to make you an offer if they think the price is too high. That way, it's up to you to accept the offer or not. Good luck.

How do I set up my own yard sale?
Q. I want to have a yard sale to sell a bunch of unwanted stuff, but I never had one before. Any tips advice and things I should know?

A. Some cities have ordinances on garage sales, check with your city first. Advertise both in your paper and signs if permitted by your city. Have everything organzied and set out prior to the start of your sale. Have your prices reasonable. Have your items marked as to price. Have fun.

What is the best thing that you ever got at a yard sale?
Q. Did you find something really old and valuable, or something new and unbelievably cheap? I have decorated my whole house from yard sale finds and my home is truly unique. What have you found?

A. Around 1990, I bought a TV for $2. They told me it did not work. I found that my attaching the UHF attenna to the UHF input, and the VHF attenna to the VHF input, it worked quite well... It lasted a couple of years more. Second best was a grandfather clock kit for $10. It was a total fake, but it looked OK and I sold it to someone for $50.
