Very hard. I recently had one, yesterday and I made $9 haha

So, I think the problem is the location. The yard, and this bitch ass neighborhood. also yardsales are a lot of fuckin' work with no goddamn reward. I had most my things prcied for a damn $1 and people were trying to jew me down to 50cents I mean WTF?

Of course, I had some of my rocks out there and sold only one for $5. (And I have really good rocks) Some guy thought the magladon fossil sharks tooth was a fucking arrowhead. I guess the buying public IS really that fucking stupid

He was all, "Hey hunny look at this cool arrowhead!" and picked it up to show his fat GF. Of course I was like hello you dumb bitch, that isn't a arrowhead. And he just looked at me and walked off.

In short. I will never have a yardsale again, all that work for nothing. complete waste of fucking time if you ask me

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Garden stuff, mowers, trimmers do well.

Vacuums do fair.  :zoinks:

You part with some of your    vacuums I always imagined that you had storage units full of them :lol1:

Maybe you could tag them, so you can keep track of them. They may show up on the curbside again, one day.

Maybe if you weren't acting like a cunt your customers would have purchased some of your shitty goods. Just saying.

I think yard sales are exceedingly hard. You need to have a yard to sell. :orly:

It's best to have a yard sale when the local real estate agent organizes it and does the advertising.

BUt those yards are usually sold with their attached houses, right?

Perhaps this man can help sell the yard.
