[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 371786, member: 1991"] We don't do food at garage sales in Australia either, too many regulations on re-selling food. The typical way these days to let the neighbours know of a garage sale, is a combination of a sign stapled to a telegraph pole or fence post (do check first, don't staple it to anyone's private property if it's going to get you into trouble - you are, after all, stapling your contact details there, they can find you!) and BALLOONS. We blow up a bunch of balloons with a few streamers. Nothing flash, no helium or anything. And we tie them to the gate, or wherever we need to catch someone's eye. And the sign "garage sale" with the balloons is usually enough. In our town people often put signs up on the main street poles, near the shops. As long as you take your signs down later, nobody minds. Another option is to have a regular garage sale, perhaps in conjunction with other people, at a more central location. Once a month works for people, they get to know and look for you. Marg [/QUOTE]
