Yard Sale

The other day our neighbors had a yard sale. I wanted to put out a table and try to capitalize off their work but The Hubby had a fit.

I have only had a yard sale once since we moved here and I don't remember it being the success that this sale appeared to be. I do remember that if I had something marked for $1.00, I would have several people ask for $.10. I sold a sofa, it was old but nice with no rips or wear. I don't remember the price but it was a steal. The lady complained that it was "dirty" and she would have to clean it so would we take less.

What has been your experience with yard sales? Have they been worth the work? The house next door had a huge pile of stuff that didn't sell in their yard for a few days after. They had cabinets, an undermount sink, desks, other items that they just hauled to the dump. I have had several people say that whatever doesn't sell either junk it or give it away. Nothing comes back into the house.
