I'm in charge of the jewelry department (yup, we have sales departments!) and we always do $1000 in just old jewelry, it always amazes me. Someone actually took pictures from our fire escape this year, stop by and check out our insanity!<br />http://domesticdeadline.blogspot.com/2011/05/yard-sale-success.htmlEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05324328598406496056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-31635108043237209032011-06-23T09:39:58.671-05:002011-06-23T09:39:58.671-05:00Thanks for the great giveaway!

And I'm like you, a love/hate relationship with garage sales :-)<br /><br />The basic thing to remember, in a nutshell, is to run your garage sale the same way a retail store does business. Departments, cash on hand, etc. And yup, you wouldn't believe what people buy! Our son and friends had made wooden toy's out of scrap lumber. People clamored for them. Go figure. LOL!<br /><br />When our weather shapes up, our garage sale is gonna be open for business! :-)Connie@ Connie Nikiforoff Designshttp://www.cndesigns.biznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-54048831592419973512011-06-23T02:42:03.968-05:002011-06-23T02:42:03.968-05:00i had a garage sale once, so i'm definitely no...i had a garage sale once, so i'm definitely not an expert, but i'm surprised to see that i did pretty much the things in your check list! <br />the crowd was big and we've got an old computer stolen, but overall it went very well, bot hoy it was tiring! the whole week was hectic!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641119595514394487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-4590383984460065572011-06-22T21:42:08.362-05:002011-06-22T21:42:08.362-05:00This is so true.
