Hello Poppers
Today I am filling out a form for my child's school yard sale. $25.00 for a double parking spot, front and back. Park your car in the back, display your wares in the front. The pros to participating in this sort of yard sale:
1) You don't have to advertise, the sponsor does that for you
2) You only set up and tear down your spot
3) Lots of other sellers so more people are likely to stop and shop
4) Early bird shopping for you and the other sellers
5) $25.00 is rather inexpensive when you figure out the cost to place an ad
6) The leftovers can be left for the boy
scouts to pack up and take to donate to the local charity of their choice
Cons:
1) You have to pack up and bring the goods and pack up and bring the unsellable home if you do not want to donate it
2) You do not have a say in the charity that others decide to take your goods
3) No tax write off for your donated goods
Even though I have to pack up the car and perhaps, make more than one trip to the school, this is a great deal. The price is reasonable and the proceeds go to the club sponsors. Win-win!
