Running a successful yard sale
- Saturday morning 7-12 is best. Friday afternoon if Friday.
- Advertise on Nextdoor + Facebook + Craigslist + Yard Sale Treasure Map. Take photos.
- Big signs at intersections + yard. Bright colored, simple, ARROWS.
- Price everything. Bargain-hunters love clearly marked items.
- Have plenty of small bills — start with $30 in $5s and $1s.
- Accept Venmo / Zelle / Cash. Even seniors can do this — no credit cards.
- Lower prices in afternoon. By 2 PM offer 50% off.
- Donate or pickup-haul leftover — don\'t put it back in garage.
Realistic earnings
- Single household sale: $150-500.
- Multi-family / neighborhood sale: $300-1,500/family.
- For valuable items: list on Facebook Marketplace separately, get more.
- For furniture / lots of stuff: hire estate sale company instead — pays more even after their cut.
For shoppers
Cash + small bills. Arrive at 7am for best stuff. Be polite. Negotiate gently — sellers respond to fair offers, not lowball bullying. Wear comfortable shoes; you\'ll walk a lot.
