I dearly love yard sales! I held a few on my own and helped run them for churches. And, I love to go to them and buy stuff. But, since I got to be a little old lady, I donate stuff I don't want, need, or fit into. I used to volunteer at a local thrift shop so I take stuff there and I shop there, also. Did I tell you that I love them?

I love to go to yard sales - I've gotten some great things on my "hunting expeditions"!

I'm just not so sure that I want to put out the effort to have one of my own.

I wouldn't bother with a garage sale for misc household stuff. My husband was cleaning out his dad and stepmom's house and said "We could have a garage sale". I was like "Have fun." I don't even sell our stuff when it's old. I just donate it to the next charity that contacts me. I have a couple bags and some individual stuff on my front porch now the the Houston Achievement Place. It'll be gone tomorrow

It's never been worth it to me. I prefer to have the charity pick up from my porch when they're in the area, or take my stuff to either my favorite thrift stores or to a local church where the homeless appreciate certain items.

Salvation Army or trash.

I did a couple of yard sales about 20 years ago - when my mother passed away and I had to deal with her things I called in an Estate Sales business. She was in WA and I live in SO. CA, there were a lot of books and I did not want to deal with the sentimental feelings with everything. We now donate items and don't try to sell anything. I did 2 items on Craigslist and decided never again. I live 7 miles from the Border - so you are not going to make any money. The people that have thrift stores come very early - usually before they are supposed to be there and try to buy you out cheap. They will nit pick to get the price down - for me it just wasn't worth it to us.

Donate! I have never made enough cash to pay for the time and bother of a yard/garage sale of this kind of "stuff". Donate to a non-profit and you can write it off on taxes and that was/is just fine with me. The freedom from the burden of stuff is worth it.

Salvation Army is the quickest and easiest way for us.

Lot of work to prepare for. My mother moved to assisted living and I 'garaged saled' her things. Made $1100. Most times, I donate to church rummage sales.

Totally agree with this sentiment. When my dad died a couple of years ago sibs and I had to clean out his house. Half lived local to dad; half out of state. There were not enough hours in my or bro #1 (t he out of staters) to do a yard sale - and frankly not much would have sold. We just donated anything usable to a couple of local places.
