Last year we had a Village wide sale and decided to participate. Gosh, we were so disappointed - not worth the money we made considering the weeks of organizing and pricing.
On the other hand I helped my friend with a rummage of all her deceased mothers things. It was in mid-Sept. - not popular month for rummage sales in our area. We only hauled the stuff out on tables in the driveway NO prices. We had a box that asked for donations to St. Jude's Children's Hospital. We ran it for 3 days, the overflowing tables were reduced to one large box and we made $1,500.00 for our charity close to our heart (I have a granddaughter with Osteosarcoma) . We accomplished exactly what we wanted to do - pay it forward and know her mom would be proud of us.
