Hello,

I am from Oklahoma and have found this site today. I love the idea of sharing comments with people from all over the world. I just wanted to say that there is a website, I believe yahoo invented and its for free classified ads for people all over the world and there is much to be offered, even free things locally. The name is Kijiji.com. Check this out. I have found so much on this site. Its another craigslist. Have a great day.

@Gibee: I usually take my kids clothes first to the local “Once Upon A Child” resale shop. They give decent prices for stuff, but they’re kinda ticky about what they’ll take. I then put what they don’t take into my sale for about a $1 each.

****

Once I get motivated to have a sale (once every 2 or 3 years), I usually have 3-day sales (fri/sat/sun). I’ve always found Fridays and Saturdays to be steady business all day (9-6); Sundays are a bit slower overall, but fairly active from 10-ish AM to 3-ish PM. (Casual salers heading home from church, or to/from brunch & lunch?)

A couple of tips that I have found helpful:

I put out my easy-to-read signs [scraps of wood, painted white, with black lettering] before evening rush hour on Thursday, for free advance advertising. [Make sure you collect them all after the sale is over!!]

All items in my sale are priced in multiples of 25c, so I don’t have to deal with dimes, nickels, or pennies. Any knick-knacks or small toys that would be less than a quarter can be grouped with similar items, or put out in a FREE box.

I live in the Hudson Valley region of NY State and have discovered http://www.tagsalemaps.com/ – it’s the BEST website for finding tag sales! It is so simple to use and always up-to-date. I think it’s $10 to post an ad but I use it for searching and I just don’t know how I ever lived without it! I love driving around with my tag sale map and knowing that every sale on my map will actually be there – no more chasing old signs!
