Consider finding a clutter buddy. When it comes to culling clutter, two heads are better than one - and a two-family yard sale will get more traffic. Back one another up, and dare to clear your clutter to the bone.   Kevin Solway (173)

Generally, you have to get to a yard sale early to have the best choice of items. But if you arrive late you may be able to purchase items very cheaply, since owners often want to clear them out.   Kevin Solway (173)

Don't sell anything before your advertised opening time. Some people, including second-hand dealers, will try to pressure you into selling things beforehand. Be prepared for them.   Kevin Solway (173)

If you have any uncertainty about whether you really want to sell an item, give it some more thought. If you still can't decide, keep it. You'll probably use it later and be glad. Go with your gut feeling.   myxlfidian (150)

Sometimes sellers are happy to sell you their advertised items the day before the official opening time. You may pick up a bargain in this way, and it doesn't hurt to ask.   thesource (378)
