Why do they call it a yard sale when they are not selling the yard or the same for a garage sale.

I know there are alot. I am not one. I know what you mean. If people want to make a living gettig peoples crap just to sell it on Ebay they should take a look at their own crap they may have laying around their house. I think it is gross.

In general terms, the secondary market is like eBay. You are not hte primary seller of an item, but a kind of middleman

best sales i been to have clothes sorted by size and other items like knick knacks,wall pictures ect.,organized.dont just throw everything on table for people to rummage through most wont bother. and signs are easy just write garage sale on it and post with address or arrows pointing in direction for people to find and be sure sign is large enough for motorist to see

To visit other people's yard sales you can do one of two things:\n\n1.  If you're searching for something specific, Go to http://www.millsberry.com/classifieds.phtml.  Click on one of the 5 neighborhoods and it will bring up a page wtih a search box.  Type in the item you are seeking and it will show you all the advertised yard sales with that item.\n\n2.  If you just want to browse, Go to http://www.millsberry.com/classifieds.phtml.  Click on the neighborhood and click on a street and you will see a list of all the houses on that street that have yard sales (and it shows in parenthesis how many items are in their sale).  Click on the name and it will take you to that person's yard sale.\n\nGood luck and have fun!

You can buy things on garage sells and sell them for more money also you can buy items in big quantities so when you sell then individually you can make some kind of profit.

Don't know there is always one in the bunch. Those are the ones that have something going on at home. They need to clean up there own backyard before they get in others.

Seems cruel and unfair but if you don't keep up payments on a house, then you either have to sell the house or the mortgage boys'll take it away.\n\nWhy on earth didn't this person sell? If they'd been paying for it for ten years then at least a third would already be paid off! They could've sold up, paid the mortgage off and had enough left over for a sizable deposit on something small once they'd got back on their feet again. I don't know the story, but it sounds like madness to me.

One day I needed some extra money so one day I got all my old stuff together instead of giving it to the salvation army I had a garage sale. It worked out pretty well. I do this every summer and I also donate half to the children's hospital. Like the bible say: Give and it should be given unto you press down shaken together and ruineth over. Also a candy store is not a bad idea.

How many times have you gone to the store and bought something you didn't need, it was more of a want.  Everyone does that...it's wasteful.  Instead of donating things to a Goodwill or Salvation Army people throw things out that can still be used.  \n\nAttitude's are wasted everyday when people are mean for no reason.

I see 5 options:\n1) Garage sale (yard sale)\n2) Sell your stuff on eBay\n3) Take an equity loan on your house\n4) Apply for unemployment compensation or general assistance from Social Services Department in your county.\n5) Check out temporary jobs, such as construction, cleaning, help people who move, or put ads/newspapers on people's yards/doorsteps/doorhandles and mailboxes.\nMcDonalds and other fast foods are also always hiring.

Maybe they want to buy it later and don't want to forget where it's at.

Do the eBay thing. Buy garage sale items for a bargain, then list them at collectors prices.\nThat sounds crazy but, I know it's done. \nGarbage-In-Garbage-Out.\nGood Luck!

I know people that have gone around and collected trash and sold it thru ebay.  Look around your town on junk day, you might find something sellable.  Take a picture of it and offer it for sale.  Voila -- you're in business.

Most of the companies that produce those shirts and hats, etc. usually end up having them stuck in a warehouse somewhere. When Starter Inc. was still in business, they used to have a warehouse sale twice a year to get rid of all of those kinds of gear.
