We purge yearly and have great success with our yard sales. We advertise on Craigslist, FB and signs. We are usually sold out by 10am. The left overs go to a homeless shelter.

Our Kentlands community has a yard sale scheduled for Saturday. It is an annual event and is very successful.
It is promoted by email and signs and by sponsor marketing. They have a non-profit collection for the left over stuff.

One man's junk is another man's treasure Inna. Price it double what you would pay and let the negotiating begin. Everything should be marked clearly and you'll need lots of eyes watching your stuff. It's amazing what people put in their pockets to save a quarter. Rent wardrobes to hang the clothes, that's easiest. It can be a great time when the weather cooperates! Local papers usually let you place your ad for FREE or at minimal cost.

Yes have price tags or tables grouped by prices. Start early on Saturday, maybe 8 am, and plan to close at 4 or 5 pm unless you sell out sooner. If you have a lot of items you might let it run again on Sunday. My sister-in-law helped us with a big garage sale and she was amazing at getting things sold. One tip from her is pick a group of low-value items as a bonus gift for anyone making a purchase over $5 (or $10 or whatever you want). Our freebies were some ordinary Xmas tree ornaments, nothing special but people liked choosing their gift and lots of buyers added some items to get their total high enough to qualify. Another tip is to sell batches of items like a tool box of tools, a box of toys, etc.

Craigs List. Then well-placed signs. Be prepared to get pennies on the dollar as Garage Salers are scavengers at heart.

Good morning Inna. We do a tag sale once a year at my farm, also being in the hose flipping business we accumulate a lot of stuff, plus all the stuff we don't need from our home.
We normally run for one weekend in April, this year we had over three hundred cars. People will buy anything and everything gets priced to sell. Whatever is left we donate.

Community bulletin boards, Craig's list is a place to start for ads. Salvation Army, AMVets are good for charitable contributions.
