I had a garage sale and made about $1,000 in two weekends. The down side, I had to sell it for at least half of what I paid for it but it was cash in hand and I needed the $$ for moving as my hubby had lost his job and we needed to move 'back home' and stay with mom a while.
Word of mouth quickly passed the news that they could get $9.00/yd qsq fabric for $3.50/yd.
