I think it went really well. I made about 75$ (one day only) on miscellaneous household stuff. I didn't have any big ticket items or ex: fishing equipment or tools, that seem to be the top selling stuff, so I'm pretty impressed. Especially since most of the things I sold were under 2$. I had a few 5 to 10$ things, but of course with negotiation they turned into 3 to 7$ things and lots of stuff was 25 to 50 cents.
I did some research before going into this and was "warned" about the early birds and the aggressive negotiators. Thankfully, I only came across one aggressive buyer, who was kinda rude. But my prices must have been acceptable because everyone one else was very nice, even if they "negotiated" with me (usually because they were buying multiple items).
I have some stuff left, and we decided that we would have another one later in the summer (it's was a multi family yard sale). This will give me a chance to go thru my shed and tools to see what else I can find to get rid of. The other girl I had it with was also very pleased with the turnout, and we'll try to get more families involved next time as well.
So how about all of you? Do you host yard sales or like to shop at them? (I love them!) Do you have any tips for me for the next one?
