I helped my parents a couple of times and went through their estate sale which was very painful.

No. I give my stuff to charity or friends. We have lots of charities that will come get your stuff (including many housewares). So all you have to do is put it in a box. When I hate bigger things, I find friends who want them. I have an VERY old computer, and I had a friend who needed a monitor, so I kept the CPU, and gave her my old CRT monitor. I have a friend who bought a house, and I have this old desk that I will probably never use again, so I gave her the desk. Oh and the friend who took the CRT monitor off my hands also took this old old old kitchen table off my hands that probably wouldn't have even been sold at a garage sale for more than a dollar. It's better to help friends than help yourself sometimes.

Yes, had one, and people actually stole from my kids, never again, I don't want that kind of people coming on my property again. I mean the thieves not the nice people that came along, just had to say that in case someone thought I was bashing yard salers

Yes, never thought I would, but when members of my "Clutter Club" here in Connecticut wanted to do so, I not only set it up but participated! It ended up being great fun, but my primary rule for tag sale is NEVER DO IT ALONE. The fun came from gathering with from 6 to 14 other people and setting up a community on someone's lawn for the day, and being there to support each other in the process. I also use the time as an opportunity to sort through stuff in the open air; I did this with children's books I wasn't sure I wanted to sell...I had a stash under the table that wasn't on view and when sales were slow I would get back to sorting in the fresh air in the company of friendly faces. At the end of day, we have a pizza party or go to ice cream parlor, and drop off the remainders as donations

Used to have them a few times a year, the last one we had was in 2000 when we moved into to our home. We met the greatest family that were looking for things for their church, the are missionaries and take things to the poor in Mexico and also help families here in the US. Now we just call them when we are ready to have a 'garage sale'. They are always so thankful and it fills our hearts with joy....which, to me, is worth more than 25cents a shirt! LOL

Once, participating in a street-wide event in our neighborhood. Not a problem, except that I tried to sell one of Ed's old records that I absolutely hated. A neighbor spotted the gem and took it up to Ed and asked if he REALLY wanted to sell it. (Uh, no he didn't!) Typically, though, I check with family first; anything unwanted goes to charity.

Yes once, but I am not normally one to sell things. I love to give things away to anyone who can use them. It just seems wrong to take money for something that has no value to you anymore.
