Like another commenter said, I'd much rather give my old stuff to Good Will. I shopped at yard sales all the time when my kids were young--they're a great source for kids' clothes and toys at a fraction of what they'd cost new!Ruth Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12305109099610123918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-87674262786672101402009-04-18T11:24:00.000-06:002009-04-18T11:24:00.000-06:00We used to give out free maragaritas to anyone who...We used to give out free maragaritas to anyone who made a purchase at our yard sales. <br /><br />So that made it fun, at least for us, because we just kept drinking all day. But there are a lot of pushy, annoying hagglers in Hollywood. People stepped up onto the lawn and yelled at us. "NO! I won't pay five! I'll give you ONE dollar!"<br /><br />No margaritas for them.Suzanne Casamentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08306151428658707692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-6621280183235168072009-04-18T00:58:00.000-06:002009-04-18T00:58:00.000-06:00I've never been to a yardsale either, Ello.

There was a staircase up to the front door. People kept coming up the stairs and opening the door thinking it was a store. We made a wooden sign that said, "PRIVATE ENTRANCE." We hung the sign on a rope that we put across the bottom of the stairs. We actually had people climb over or unhook the rope to come up the stairs, open the door and come in!Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-20815469219965514432009-04-17T15:04:00.000-06:002009-04-17T15:04:00.000-06:00I'll be looking at that website soon.

They happen around me all the time but they never interest me. But then again I don't like used stuff - I'm a bright and shiny new stuff girl and don't like antiques at all.

I had some old dolls I figured I'd get rid of, so I sold them really cheap. About a year later I saw the same dolls, all cleaned up and still together, at another yard sale and the lady was asking over $100 for each of them. Definitely one of those Homer Simpson "D'OH!" moments!Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-20593937303469553012009-04-17T08:38:00.000-06:002009-04-17T08:38:00.000-06:00How funny!

We never really made any money, so they're weren't worth the trouble they are to get ready. We go to some every now and then, but rarely find anything we need. I'd like to be one of those people that gets something for really cheap and find out it's worth hundreds of thousands! Dream on Nance!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
