It was LOT of stuff! Here's what we did:<br />Imade several sigsn with the twins pictures on it that read: Adoption fundraiser! Make an offer!" And posted it on ALl the tables and hanging anywhere in sight. <br />I would price the "bigger" items - tv's, microwaves, etc. But for the most part I walked around (with a money apron on) and answered the "how much is this?" question with "make an offer" or "How about $15 for everything in your hand?" I also had lots and lots of plastic bags and brown bags and did the same thing "How about $20 or $25 for the bag?"<br /><br />Good Luck!! We had a fun day and made some good money. Oh and we sold COLD DRINKS and Pre-packaged SNACKS! Doughnuts, chips, etc. ;-)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17624006985310718301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559196589404180345.post-583696677558634722010-09-27T08:15:25.579-07:002010-09-27T08:15:25.579-07:00I like the idea of donations.

But, if you did the donation thing, no headaches but for the man taking the $$$. Good luck with this venture!Granneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03480494509921718292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559196589404180345.post-80089099306538374712010-09-26T15:58:44.223-07:002010-09-26T15:58:44.223-07:00When we had a garage sale for the children's h...When we had a garage sale for the children's home in India, we just said it was a fundraiser and asked people to donate. It was definitely my kind of garage sale (easy) and we made a lot of money for the children's home (over $1200 with a lot less stuff than you have!).<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455698547207302964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559196589404180345.post-43107833984393383222010-09-24T21:35:54.931-07:002010-09-24T21:35:54.931-07:00I had to have my hubby read this one!

He said "Sonia is funny!"<br /><br />Just so ya know our conversation 10 minutes ago consisted of "do you think we could actually move to Colorado for your business??" NO, was the answer!<br /><br />We have lived in one state all our lives!<br /><br />Because of that we have accumulated a lot! Hubby thought the stuff in your garage looked "organized"! He's funny, too!<br /><br />Pricing?? I'd keep everything rounded to the nearest 50 cents or dollar- keep it simple!<br /><br />Let us know how it goes... I am sure you will! I'm also sure I'll laugh at the post!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219821176198096628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559196589404180345.post-73376071139465556862010-09-24T20:10:19.926-07:002010-09-24T20:10:19.926-07:00A friend of mine does a 50cent table, $1 table, $5...A friend of mine does a 50cent table, $1 table, $5 table and so forth.

Good luck!<br />I'd be happy to donate some of our stuff from Indiana that just doesn't work in DC... :) I am looking forward to cleaning out - kinda waiting for a referral and using it as a waiting for travel kind of job.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228094717864369438noreply@blogger.com
