I tried having a garage sale, and sure I made a few hundred bucks, but after looking at the time spent organizing stuff and dragging it out, and the hanging out in the yard with people haggling with me over $2 items I realized my time is worth more. I do way better posting stuff on FB marketplace, and if it’s not going to bring more than 15-20 on there I just take it to goodwill. You guys are busy like us between work and the family, I’m sure you can find a way more enjoyable, or profitable use of a few weeknights and a full day on Saturday.
