Holding a sale? Get more people through the driveway

• Post early. List it by Wednesday with the dates, hours, and the street or neighborhood. Serious shoppers plan their route the night before.
• Show the big stuff. Three or four photos of the best pieces (furniture, tools, fishing gear, kids' gear) bring more people than a long list of small items.
• Price everything. Stickers or a few “everything on this table $1” signs save haggling and keep the line moving.
• Have small bills. Start with plenty of ones and fives, and keep the cash on you rather than in a box on the table.
• Check sign rules. Towns and HOAs set their own rules for roadside signs, so check yours before staking signs at the corner, and take them down when the sale ends.
• Plan for leftovers. Mark the last hour half price, then post what's left in Free items or donate it.

Shopping yard sales

Estate sales and move-out sales often have the best furniture and tools, especially when vacation rentals are refurnished before or after the season. Bring cash, a tape measure, and a vehicle that fits what you came for, and test anything electric before you pay. Each sale above links to the full listing with photos, hours, and a way to message the seller.
