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.

Exactly. The hassle is not worth it. It has been so long that I don't remember what the item was that I had priced at $5.00. Some dude offered me one dollar. I told him I will set it on fire and burn it for fun rather than sell it for a dollar. He left, and I sold the item a minute later for 5 bucks.
It is just more work that I want to put in for a few bucks. When I sold lots of big stuff at my last garage sale and emptied a house, yea it was worth the effort.
Never again.
