I don't know who's bright idea it was to hold a yard sale on the hottest day in September and possibly even August but it was a success!
We sold some cookies and bottled water along with the yard sale items which brought in some extra cash too. The whole day went fairly smooth in spite of record heat.
We sold a lot of the kid items, and a number of the collectible items and other household items. We had a steady stream of traffic thanks in part to Craigslist and our signs.
We'd gotten some change the day before and had things pretty well set up to ensure a smooth day. Having the kids sell the waters, cookies and their own items helped them to make connections to money that they never would have gotten in a classroom!
Did I mention yet that the above photos are after the sale?
We'll be having a repeat this next week with a 20% - 50% reduction in prices. I like the money and I'm enjoying having less clutter and reminders of the ex around. Oh, how he enjoyed "the kill" on eBay. I'll have to tell you that story someday.
