Do you like going to yard sales, having yard sales, or both.  If you don't like either, please state no.

I like going to yard sales when I have spare time. Having them can be great, but it takes some planning and a lot of time to get everything out to sell and back in when the day is done. It's a good way to clean out the house and make some extra money though.

I would prefer to attend a garage sale than give a garage sale.  However, you are right, it's a good way to clean out your house.

I don't like going to yard sales. Also, I had to help out my friends with yard sales. So much work....rather just donate all the stuff and get a tax write off.

i like going to yard sale because most of the times i can find things for crafting cheaper than i would buying it at the store it really saves a lot and my husband especially like going to yard sales because he is always looking for old things to collect.. but for us to have yard sells no we do not  :wave:

When my kids were little I liked shopping at yard sales.

I have had a few garage sales over the years, but found them to be a lot of work!

Now I just donate to the YMCA.  The truck comes to town and picks up my donations right from my door step!

I like going to yard sales more than having them, especially when you buy something for alittle nothing and find out it might be worth more than you paid for it.

It really depends.  You can find some treasures, but often you just find junk.  There is no way I would ever have one, they are a lot of work, it's just easier to donate your items.

I'm a big garage/yard saler.  I think I'm getting my husband convinced too...last year a barn across the street from us opened it's doors.  It was full of treasures and very interesting.  An older couple own it.  She used to set up flea markets regularly and he owns his own landscaping business.  Together there barn was full of thing a ma jigs and doo hickies.  We found some coin tubes, an ax and bungee cords all for $8.. Had i had an extra $100 or $200 I could have spent it right there.  Who'da thunk what we needed was across the street from us all along.
