I’m finally having my yard sale tomorrow. The one I’ve been talking about having for about 5 years. Right now I’m taking a break from pricing things because I keep rethinking my prices, going up, going down. I looked up some items on ebay and was shocked by what people are charging- and getting- I saw a Little Tikes toddler climber exactly like the one I’m selling except the one on ebay was sunfaded and looked dirty in the photo- mine was never outside and it’s in great shape. I was thinking of asking $25- found on ebay even the faded one is going for over $50 + $35 shipping! So I raised my price to $40. I put an ad for the sale on craigslist and a neighbor emailed me that she was interested in the climber, I told her the details, she came by last night and bought it plus a pack n play. I gave her a $5 discount on both items, I’m just happy to see them go! A sale before I even started, :woohoo:.
This is the first time I’ve used craigslist. I was pricing classifieds in the paper and they were around $50 for just the basic info. For free on craigslist I posted a ginormous ad with lots of details, even a photo of some of the stuff. I suppose if I lived on a back road I’d be concerned about getting more traffic, but on this road, between two major thoroughfares (which will have signs at the corners) I know I’ll get plenty of traffic. Plus the weather will be great (sunny, mid 60s) and it’s Little League opening day so pretty much every family in town will be out and about. With all the kid stuff I’m selling, that’s perfect.
Wish me luck!

Good luck! I haven’t had a garage sale in 16 years (just before we left NJ, in fact). My excuse is always that we’re too far off the beaten path. Doesn’t sound like that will be a problem for you.
Good luck with the sale - make lots of money for your next trip to WDW! :-)
