Have a yard/garage sale or donate?
 

For those of you that have had yard sales of "miscellaneious" household things -

in hindsight -

would you do the sale again

or

would you just pack everything up and donate all the "stuff"?

i just take it to a charity shop. much easier. I just want someone else to get some use out of what ever i give away. I hate trashing things.

If by "household" things you mean kitchen items and misc knick-knacks, I would just donate them. I recently had a yard sale that was pretty successful, but we had furniture items and tools which really draws people in. Those items sold well, the household stuff like a bread machine, panini maker, rotisserie oven did not sell.

You have to consider the time involved in hosting a sale -- getting ready, sitting through it and cleaning up afterwards. If you think you will get enough money to compensate for the hassle, go for it. For me, I would donate.

As it so happens, I'm having a yard sale this Friday and Saturday, when over, I usually donate the leftovers to our local Humane Society. They're a lot of work, but fun and I love to go to them. I guess it would depend on how much misc. stuff you have, because I've been to several sales that I would consider them not worth while having.

I enjoy donating to a worthwhile organization.

There is a resale shop in my community staffed by volunteers where all the proceeds benefit children and adults with autism. My son has autism and attended a school run by this organization. It gives me great pleasure to support them.

been there, done that... now just donate everything

I would just donate it all. Last yard sale we had was alot of work, it was over by 10 am and we made about $75.00.

I can't be bothered. So much easier to take it to Goodwill.

I just take stuff I no longer want to Goodwill.
