yet another garage sale?

[Dznypal]

I have a mountain of clothes Id to get rid of.

and I read that some of you let the people stuff a bag and charge like $3 to $5 (something like that) per bag full.

how do you determine what price to have your bags (for the one price)

and what type of clothes are on this sale?

I was thinking along the lines of tops and shorts and maybe some jeans if they aren't super good ones?

any suggestions would be greatly appreicated

thanks also if anyone has any other helpful hints for a successful sale

I hope this makes sense

I did this type of sale several years ago and it was the easiest sale I ever had. I just got some paper grocery sacks and let people fill the sack for $5.00. I had lots of kids clothes so you could really get a lot for $5.00. I just seperated things by size and then had housewares and things in a different area. I only ran the sale from 8-12 and then just loaded up the car and took what was left to goodwill. I know a lot of people will sell things the regular way the 1st day and then have a bag sale with what is left, but I wanted to get rid of everything quickly. I had a lot of name-brand kids clothes so if your items aren't that great or are left over from yesterday you might go a little less.

I am doing a yard sale this weekend to help finance another WDW trip in August. This is a great idea! Does it just work for clothes, or could you do it for other things? Any other good tips?

Thanks!

thanks for the replies

now I have another ?

how can I word this on the signs that I put around the area?

I think this idea would be a good draw to the sale but I don't know what to say.

thanks for the help
