Do you go to yard sales? What do you look for? Anything in particular or do you just peruse the stuff?
We were going to participate in my sister's community yard sale at the beginning of May, but it didn't work out as it rained pretty much all weekend and we were dragging stuff over there in the rain. Now we're thinking of trying to have one here the weekend after July 4th. I need to go through totes in the basement to see what all we have and what we are willing to display.
I know we have a lot of glassware. We have many Amish/Mennonites in the area and they're always looking for glassware, silverware, and such. They have their church services in their homes and they do a big meal after church, so things don't even have to match. If it's in good shape, they buy. When we do a yard sale, we do things cheaply because we want to get rid of the stuff, not make a pile of money.
We don't have much in the way of clothing, nor do we have any kids' stuff and I know those are things that people around here always buy. I have some exercise equipment, but I don't know how well that will go over. A Cardio-Glide and an AB lounger. No furniture or anything like that.
We don't go to yard sales that often. When we do, it's usually to look for books or cookbooks. If I see an interesting bowl or casserole dish, I'll buy it. But that's pretty much it.
