Tips to a Successful Yard Sale, Part 3

Well in my eyes, our yard sale was a successful one.  I have been out of the swing of writing for a few days because I have been recovering from the sale.  Lol! I always enjoy seeing what items sell and meeting new people.  Wanted to list a few things that seemed to sell well, some are typical while some are unique to the sale we had last week.  Items that seem to sell well are as follows:

1. Furniture and household items
2.  Baby clothing and toys
3.  Special interest items such as quilting magazines and scrap booking supplies
4.  Large appliances such as TVs
5.  Cd's, books, and sometimes educational material.

Remember you have decluttered, you don't want to take this stuff back into your house.  Bargain, bargain. Most people that shop yard sales are looking for a deal!  As a rule of thumb, I generally price my items high but have a lower price in mind if someone offers me a lower price.  Be prepared to wheel and deal.  Have fun, it is all worth it!
