Garage / Yard Sales, in my mind, are far more work and messing around than they’re worth, but they are good for burning a weekend if you have absolutely nothing else to do!

I agree with everyone else. Advertising is very important. Your local newspaper is another good place.

Sorry to hear such a low turn out. Advertising in your local paper or weekend paper in the garage or yard sale section. Some papers it is free or a low fee to put the ad in there. Signs with big lettering for the address that can be seen from a vehicle driving by is important. Use bright neon colored poster board for signs. Also, selling cans of cold soda pop at yard sales are a plus.:) Kids like to help sell those. Good luck next time! Shirleys last blog post..Appreciate fellow bloggers

It’s just one of those things – human mind not focused enough is quite unable to see the most obvious things…

Luckily, we never stop learning and implementing the fresh knowledge into our brighter future!

You do have to advertise in order to attract people, much like anything else.

However, you could try getting a booth at a flea market for a weekend. I know here in Florida we have the Sanford flea market and its dirt cheap to get a booth for the weekend, and there are ALOT of people who cruise it.

Wow!,it’s a shame your garage sale was a bust. Your so right about advertising, but you can also advertise your garage or yard sale online for free with a site like http://garagesalehomepage.com.
Now that your sale is over you can still sell your items in your own free online garage or yard sale. Hope it goes much better!

Good Luck

Sorry that it didn’t work out! Sometimes advertising something as a multifamily yard sale draws people in. But i have to admit, I mostly yard sale by looking in the local paper or just following signs

Oh I hope things pick up with the Craig's list post and the radio show. That is SO much work not to get rewarded. I wish you lots of success! Thanks for making clear to the rest of us to advertise! Maureens last blog post..Illness And Moving And Caregiving. . .OH MY!!!
