I need to do a yard sale this year, I have so much stuff I need to donate and things I can make my money back on. Haven't done one in a while, so I think it's time. :)

I'm not a yard sale person. I know people who goes to yard sales and take home things that don't work

I buy dresses  and shoes at yard sales.  Then, I sell them in my ebay store to make extra money.  Every little bit  helps.

I love yard sales, flea markets and thrift stores; I do not do any re-selling for profit; the things I use and I have found some good deals.

You never know what you may find at an Estate Sale.  Old people that kept stuff forever and the family just sells it all cheap to get rid of it because they don't want it and don't want to move it.

At an estate sale I found a ring that I put a different stone in and I where it everyday.  It is my "Mother's Ring".  It has 4 diamonds (1 for each child) on the side of the center stone.  I replaced the gem it had with an emerald cut PERIDOT gem.
 
It is stunning.  August is our wedding month, so Peridot gem.  4 children, 4 diamonds

I used to shop yard sales and sell on ebay. That was years ago when ebay was just becoming popular. It was easier to sell on there at that time.

I mostly go to thrift stores now because sometime they have really nice things. I enjoy yard sales but haven't been to one in a long time.  I don't haggle.

I am not one for yard sales.  I am not into buying someelse's  junk when I have a lot of junk of my own.  Plus for the most part people are filthy and that is not for me.

I used to go to those more when I was younger. Now I drive by them and look to see if I see anything worth getting before I stop. Those are to much fun to visit!

This is something I have never done but I am interested in giving it a try.  I would have to get some startup cash though, but I do intend on doing this pretty soon.

Wonderful treasures can be found at yard sales, I haven't visited one lately because I'm saving.

I use to go to them all the time when I was little. They are not really my thing anymore. I use to by toys and things like that now I don't really have need for things you would find at one.

My mom and I used to go to yard sales, thrift stores and flea markets all the time when I was a kid. I don't go to much anymore because I never seem to have time.
