Left overs from a garage sale.....What to do with them?

I just had a week long yard sale. Yes, a WEEK long one lol. It was exhausting, but I made about $100. Not bad for sitting around, getting a tan and letting the kids run around outside while making a few bucks!

But, I still have hundreds of dollars worth of stuff left! I Even tried doing a "Fill a bag for $7" for my baby clothes. And let me tell ya, they are name brand, barely worn, excellent condition. I figured this would be HUGE. Im still left with a large tote and a few boxes of baby girl clothes lol. UGh! I have two wedding dresses, tons of baby equipment and furniture and tons of kids toys. What the heck am I going to do with all this stuff!!! I can't possibly just give it away. Theres NO WAY! I mean, don't get me wrong, I would love to donate them, but I really need the money. Then again, I REALLY need the space too. So I am wondering, with all these really good items, what should I do? Right now, I threw up some ads for "chunks" of items. I did the baby bag sale and a few of my high priced items on Craigslist, hoping to sell those during this week. The other stuff though, Should I have another yard sale this upcoming week? Its a holiday week and we live right off the highway. Im hoping theyll stop at the corner gas station and see our signs! Maybe?

So, what do you do with all your left over garage sale stuff? do you donate it to the local good will? Do you try to sell everything every weekend until its gone? Do you start giving stuff away towards the end of the sale to anyone that comes by? How do you get rid of your excess yard sale stuff? less

Ebay costs too much money and Craigslist is usually ransacked with so many spammers its getting to the point of ridiculousness. I do have some things up on Craigslist right now. Hoping that those ones sell since they are my higher value items or things that take up a lot of space. less

I gotta be honest. I hate holding garage sales. I hate sitting around, doing nothing and often selling little. Even a two day weekend garage sale is something I avoid.

We've done them. We have the understanding that "nothing brought out of the house for a garage sale goes back in." I give away bags of stuff Sunday afternoon for a couple of bucks, then whatever is left is loaded into the car or my man's truck and brought to Good Will. I can't stand to have it around anymore.

I know it's helping people who have a LOT less than I do, so I'm glad to do it. In fact, last year, instead of even having a garage sale, we just brought everything we collected directly to Good Will.

That's what works for us. less
