over this last weekend (sat and sun) we had a garage sale and made like 50$ on day and 111$ the next. it was an awesome weekend. there were swarms of people coming.

Congratulations!  Yard sales can be a lot of fun and a great way to make some extra cash.

Love yard sales and flea markets. It is such a great thing to do on a summer day whether I'm the buyer or seller. Planning a map and going around for a day of yard sales is such a fun thing to do either by myself or with someone else who enjoys just kicking around. I have lived in several areas that have had great flea markets as well. Another really fun way to spend a weekend day. One of the greatest thing about having your own yard sale is that the house gets a good clearing out and the wallet gets thicker!

I think that is great! Sidewalk sales are fun and it's great to meet all those people! I like finding those unusual items that no one else has and making my home more interesting with them. It would be great to organize a neighborhood sale where everyone  had sales at the same time. Just a thought, it would be like a huge flea market.

Wow, that is great.  The most I've ever made at a yard sale was around $20.  ...then again I lived in a very rural area the last time I had a yard sale.

I love yard sales!   I use to go all the time but the past few years I have been way too busy.  I did have a little sale one weekend and just put out a few things and made about $75.  Not bad for sitting in the sun for about an hour or two !!

I love yard sales. Buying and selling stuff is definitely a great way to make extra cash. I made $500 at my last yard sale.

There were a bunch of sales this weekend by me.  I like the church and school groups they get alot of unique stuff.  The ones who have something every weekend get junky sometimes.  I love garage sales and thrift stores.

Wow!  That's ALOT for a yard sale!  Congrats!

The most I made at one is around $75.  It sure did help at the time.

I'm thinking about having one this summer but the last time I had one and that was years ago I only made 6.00. You can't heardly pay a gallen of gas.

Had a Sale today and made $130. Woohoo!

I am having a garage sale this next weekend.
It's a lot of work getting it set up and ready, but worth the extra money and decluttering.
I've also been selling on our community swap site, like a local Craig's List for our town.
It's been great!

  I so need to have a yard sale.  Sounds like yours was very lucrative.  I have tons of yard sale stuff cause my husband and I were packrats I guess and his parents passed away and we took too much junk home and my mom passed away last May and I am still trying to clean her house out.  I am lazy though and not a morning person and I guess its best to start yard sales early.  I am happy for your succ :thumbsup:ess.
