Don't let anyone ever tell you a yard sale is easy... I remember years ago enjoying an occassional yard sale, but I have just had my last one.....a lot of work, for very little return. I would rather take the donation allowance on my tax return. I had a few things saved up for the sale, but had a lot of stuff from brother Mel and a girlfriend. We each made a little money, and the Salvation Army received a truck load donation. All Done! One unsaleable item was Mel's old lawnmower, it showed up here without even a handle, but Doug had one made by a buddy and now it is sitting at Mel's store ready to sell at top $$$$. The best part of the day was when our friends called and said they were bringing stuff for a barbque over for dinner. Yes, we had the enjoyment of friends, and didn't have to provide a thing....maybe a few dirty glasses and silverware....it was great. Now I have my spare bedroom back and Doug has his garage back, so from here on out it is charity for my "stuff".....

Liberty Lake just had their community yard sale this week. About 300 homes officially participated with many more jumping in. I agree with you though, I skip having a yard sale and just go shopping for other people's junk! :-)
Maybe you can buy yourself a good bottle of wine with your proceeds.
