7 Yard Sale Money Making Ideas

If you are going to go through the effort of organizing a yard sale

, do it right by using these 7 yard sale ideas. You'll get rid of more stuff and put more money into your pocket.

Use these 7 Yard Sale ideas and watch your profits soar.

Yard Sale Idea 1: Whatever tables you are using, even if they are 2 sawhorses and a board, place disposable table cloths on each one. This will make them more attractive.

Yard Sale Idea 2: Attractive arrangements is what will draw attention to what you are selling. Arrange your small items to the front of the table with the larger items in the back.

Clothes laying on the ground is a huge no-no. It's difficult to shop this way, and certainly not attractive. If you can, hang these items on hangers and rods. Use an old clothes line or a rope strung from tree to tree. If that is too difficult, at the very least, fold and display them neatly on tables.

The worst thing you can do is pile them in heaps on sheets on the ground. The discomfort of having bend down to shop is a huge deterrent to sales.

Yard Sale Idea 3: Grab drive-by shoppers by putting your largest and most attractive items as close to the road as you can without blocking the view of those nice tables!

Yard Sale Idea 4: Gather up your smallest items. Create little goodie baskets or bags with a set price for each bag. Or, use baskets to keep these little sweeties contained but easy to browse through. If you are selling glasses, goblets, silver etc., bundle them together in common usable sets. Something like 4 glasses and 4 sets of dinnerware.

If you have towels, place them together in packages as well. Combine a wash cloth, face towel and shower towel and tie them together with a ribbon. They don't have to be a match, it's the packaging that will do the selling.

If you have figurines, create ensembles of 3 and sell them that way.

Yard Sale Idea 5: Group your goodies. Collect and arrange toys, tools kitchenware etc on separate tables (large items in the back, small in the front). Clearly label the tables - it gives the shopper the feeling of being in a department store, and makes items easier to find.

Yard Sale Idea 6: As items sell, fill in the holes they leave behind. Keep things arranged attractively by tweeking as things go. If a table is almost sold out, it's time to dismantle that table and rearrange the few remaining items onto another table. Keep things moving and attractive. Empty tables looks like an old yard sale.

Yard Sale Ideas 7: To add some visual interest, arrange your goodies by color. This works especially well if you have several glass items of various tints. Once again, large in the back, small in the front.
