[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 745241, member: 4152"] Hubby and I have made the decision that it’s not worth having a garage sale at our new place. Instead, I take things regularly to Goodwill. I had something a little on the expensive side I was considering putting an ad in the paper for or a FB garage sale and our son said he wanted it and I gave it to him. And he uses it. I’m fine with that. But, previously I had sooo much stuff plus I was in an area that for whatever reason, people attended garage sales. Soooo, those couple of dollar items added up to several hundred. It was funny as heck because my husband was grouchy as heck at the beginning but ended up having a blast. Why? Because at some point he realized these people were rapidly cleaning out his garage and giving him money to do it! Instead of him driving stuff to Goodwill, people were picking it up. Plus we met nice people and folks we hadn’t seen in years. But, it is a lot of work to set up and so forth. But, we don’t do it any more. We just take things ongoing to Goodwill and I hope my things find good homes are a blessing to someone. Of course older heirloom items require a little more thought. [/QUOTE]
