    Okay, this might sound silly, but I really don't know! My community is having a yard sale tomorrow and we don't have a lot to sell (maybe around 20 things) but they are nice things. Nice to me, of course! :)
    Is it worth putting out the small amount of things I have tomorrow morning or not? Would people even stop at our house if they saw only a small amount anyways? Ahhhhh

    If it's a community yard sale it's probably worth it. I said the same thing a few years ago, but people come out of the woodwork. Don't take this the wrong way but it helps if you can speak or understand Spanish.
    Keep in mind you don't get much for your stuff.
    My rule, I put it out in the yard sale, if it doesn't sell it goes to Goodwill or it goes to the dump. It is not allowed back in the house. If you have something of value EBAY is a good option.

    I was in the same situation a couple of years ago and I just took my stuff and a chair to my neighbor's house and joined her sale. Worked out well and helped her too. Last year I had accumulated a whole garage full of stuff, at least 400 items from every corner of the house. It took 2 weeks to gather it and I just couldn't get excited about tagging it all and sitting there all day, so I sold the whole yard sale on CL. It was great! Had a lady come the day after I placed the ad and buy it all for a few hundred dollars! My rule was she had to take it all, not pick and choose!! Sure, I could have made more myself, but it wasn't worth it to me to deal with it!! Just a suggestion...good luck!

    Put your stuff together with another family. That's what we do in our "hood".
