Whats the best strategy when hosting a yard sale?

Question

Prices, attitude, mood,... anything you can recommend for someone who has one very rarely?

Answer 1

Don't overprice things!! When I had my sale, people said we had really good prices. Don't expect to make a lot of money--then you will! :) I recommend that you advertise a lot as well, good signs, ad in local paper, etc. Start early as well, we got a lot of older people right away in the morning when we started at 8. Just be friendly with people, and you will have a great sale!! Good luck!  

Answer 2

price things low-you want to get rid of the c**p, right? be willing to wheel and deal. never, ever let someone into your home for any reason. make sure doors all around house are locked. never walk away from your cash stash, even for a sec. have a mirror and a plugged in extension cord for your customers. Good luck!
